If you do not have any previous experience with debian, it can be frustrating. Out of the box, i wouldn't say that is easy to use.

Best operating System
What do you like best about the product?
With the Stable branch guaranteeing a dependable and error-free experience over five years of everyday usage, Debian offers unparalleled stability. Installing and updating software is easy thanks to its extensive repository and APT package management.
What do you dislike about the product?
I enjoy the stability.
The fact that apps that depend on third-party services are outdated and frequently unable to connect or operate at all without requiring an external package manager to obtain the most recent version is something I detest.
It seems unlikely that these two things will ever work well together.

I'm using this as OS for most of the projects while working and it benifited us in many ways where multiple software were installed very easily. Also during the Crowdstrike Outage Linux is the one which was not affected.
Debian Linux distro review
What do you like best about the product?
Is the easiest Linux distro to install and fully integrate
What do you dislike about the product?
It has a lot of issues with the wireless and bluetooth drivers
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Was more a developer problem, due to the lack of development tools on windows the whole software enginners switch to the Linux environment especifically Debian, this helps with the console management, the server and file sharing and the development of the app.
Lightweight, straightforward linux distribution
What do you like best about the product?
It can be run on just about anything. We have plenty of old computers to continue running Windows, but found new lives running as Debian-based servers.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from Windows/Windows Server, the learning curve is fairly substantial. However, once you get the hang of it, the knowledge applies to other Linux distributions as well. Also, there is a plethora of help online.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to use Docker to run most of our applications. Debian is the most efficient way to run these Docker containers. Also, we have old computers that do very well when running Debian as a CLI-only OS.
Best OS if you are looking for a friendly Linux with minimum hassle!

Package Management - This is by far the best thing about Debian. It uses the APT (Advanced Package Tool) package manager, which simplifies software installation, updates, and dependency management. The vast Debian repositories offer a wide range of software packages.
Flexibility - It offers different flavors to cater to various needs due to its ease of implementation. Whether you're looking for a lightweight system (like Debian Minimal) or a specialized distribution (like Debian Edu or Debian GIS), there is likely a Debian variant suited to your requirements.
Integration - Due to its well built infrastructure, the most popular Linux OS called Ubuntu is based on it!
Community - It has a large and active community of users and developers. This means ample customer support through forums, mailing lists, and extensive documentation.
Usage Frequency - It is found on a vast majority of servers.

Limited Official Support for Non-Free Software - It strictly adheres to free software principles, which means it has limited official support for proprietary or non-free software.
Slower Release Cycle - While the stability of Debian is a strength, its slower release cycle means users may have to wait longer for new features or software updates compared to distributions with more frequent releases.
