I recently started using Linux again after a 15+ year hiatus. The Debian installer looks exactly the same as it did when I stopped using it. I’m not hating, just stating why it might look outdated for some people.
It’s kinda why I like it. No surprises, it asks you the same dozen questions in the same order and installs your new system.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
