Why not?

TIL

But if it has all those limitations, why would anyone buy it?

Been some times since I installed Windows, but Calamares is a great tool

The best way to install is to use a LIVE edition. This is useful beacuse you have a nice installer intergrated and you can try it before you have to install the OS on the computer.

For download of this edition, see www.debian.org/CD/live

From there, if you come from Windows, I would raccomend KDE, as it is stable and customizable. Search “KDE screenshot” to see what it looks like, and if you like it.

If you want this, here the direct URL to download: https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-12.2.0-amd64-kde.iso

Debian should also be lite enough for older machines, and it is the most stable distro I’ve tried. With this OS, there are already web browser, media player, office suite,… but you can also download Steam, emulators and lots of software

For help you can DM me.

Could also be implemented in WebAssembly on different frontends.
