Linux
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.

Alpine, by its use of musl over glibc doesn't support DNS over TLS because the musl creator believes its better for user experience. It is in theory but if the other end uses it, you are out of luck and will likely spend days troubleshooting why one bit of software refuses to connect.
I totally agree with your assessment about Mint and Debian.
I like Debian's minimal approach, but I think minimal can also be user-friendly.
I still has a nice installer, though.
The Debian website is trash and I'm glad to see it acknowledged. People always take criticism of the website as if folks are saying it looks ugly. No. The layout is just icky.
Definitely still has that directory web page feel surprised there isn't a visitor counter at the bottom
I love the look of the Debian website.
I don't have a problem with the look, just the organization.
It's difficult to find where to even download the thing, particularly if you're looking for older versions
YES! YES! This is exactly what I'm talking about.
