Honestly? Because the last time I tried it, which was admittedly about a decade ago, it didn’t work. People say RTFM, but TFM was just wrong/incomplete.
I would run into a show stopper problem, and the manual would say “follow these steps to make it work”. Then, two steps in, the manual diverges from reality - doing what the manual says, would not lead to the machine state that the manual claims it would lead to.
Its not an issue that’s unique to Debain. I tried a handful of distros and they all had the same kind of dealbreaker problems that could not be resolved by RTFM.
Why wait? Debian is out there.
So is Arch btw
Thanks for reminding me! I installed an arch chroot so I can learn and play with Arch btw.
I use DOS but not MS-DOS because the MS actually stands for Microsoft. Plus it comes with Dark Mode built-in
