Notes	Figures are for a standard desktop install (2GB recommended, 10GB+ storage). Debian is highly flexible: a lightweight desktop runs comfortably in about 1GB, and a minimal or headless install needs far less. Debian 13 "Trixie" dropped 32-bit (i386) as an installation architecture; 64-bit (amd64) and ARM are supported. It is known for its stability and as the base for Ubuntu and many other distros.

Description

Debian is one of the oldest and most influential Linux distributions, prized for its rock-solid stability, enormous software repository, and strict commitment to free software. It is the foundation on which Ubuntu and countless other distributions are built. With a range of desktop options and famously conservative, well-tested releases, Debian is a dependable choice for everything from reviving old hardware to running servers.
