The video is a critique of the Debian Linux distribution’s website and its user experience, primarily focusing on the difficulties in finding and downloading the appropriate ISO images. The presenter praises Debian’s stability and community but criticizes the website’s design, stating that it’s not user-friendly, especially for new Linux users. The video highlights how the website layout, multiple clicks, and confusing file tree structure can make it challenging to locate the desired ISO images, particularly for the live installer versions. The presenter suggests that while improvements have been made, the ISO download process can still be convoluted and feels like the distribution is not encouraging new users. The overall message conveys a desire for Debian to make its ISOs more easily accessible and user-friendly.

    I agree that the website needs some work but I highly disagree that it should be simplified and dummed down for beginners, there are enough great Distros for beginners and Debian isn’t really one of them so why should they brand their website like it?

      Because Debian is the FOSS distro on Linux. All the others are associated with private companies or compromised in some other way. Normal people deserve to be able to use a properly free OS too, it should not just be for nerds.

        There are many FOSS distros with no relations to any pivate company…

          Like Arch, openSUSE, or Fedora. If you don’t like proprietary software, don’t install it.
