Debian vs Ubuntu

I’ve been using Ubuntu for years, both as a Linux enthusiast first and then as a professional Systems Administrator.

Ubuntu is still, in my opinion, the sweeter, newbie friendly, Linux distro available, if you are new to Linux or thinking on moving to Linux, start with Ubuntu, it works with the latest hardware, it does not break easily, and the UI is simple, likeable, easy to get used to and, if you use your computer for simple things, it might even boost your productivity, as compared with other OSs.
Last but definitely not least, if you need help with your Linux OS, the Ubuntu community is probably where you will get the most free and friendly help, the Ubuntu user community is helpful, friendly and newbie accommodating, a value rarely taken into account when choosing an OS that I think is of uttermost importance.

However, those are not my needs, not anymore…
I barely require help with my OS, and when I do, the solutions I need are rarely found in generic help forums around the Internet.
I rarely use this year’s hardware, in fact, I like using older, more reliable hardware, especially for my servers. Hence, the advantage of having up to this week “drivers” like you would expect from an Arch distribution or even up to this month, like you would expect from Ubuntu, is of no use to me anymore.

Mautic 5.1.1 Install Tutorial: Debian 12, PHP 8.2, MariaDB 11.4

5 Simple Steps to Install Mautic 5.1.1 on Debian 12.

  1. Install the packages required to run Mautic 5.
  2. Install Mautic 5.1.1 – Codename: Alpheratz
  3. Run the Mautic 5 configuration wizard.
  4. Install the Mautic 5 Cron Jobs.
  5. Enjoy your first Mautic 5 installation!

I usually do these tutorials for Ubuntu, however, Debian is having a surge in popularity and for good reasons, in fact, in production, I am switching from Ubuntu to Debian, so I thought it was time to add Debian 12 to the Mautic installation tutorials…

Debian has been flourishing lately, some key changes in their view of the world and changes in what is acceptable in a FOSS OS are bringing, a much needed, breath of fresh air.

So, if you don’t need to support the latest hardware, and you enjoy reliability and stability, give Debian a spin for your next Mautic 5 installation, you won’t regret it!
