To be honest, I agree with him here. This is why I am using Kubuntu and not Debian on my laptops/desktops.

Even the Respberry Pis use Raspbian and not plain Debian. What's the difference? I don't know, but it's not Debian.

The only computer using Debian is my NAS, and according to the docs it should not work (DNS 323 rev C).

So indeed, I think Debian is more seen as the base for Ubuntu et al. today than as 'The Universal Operating System'.

The Pi has an ARMv6+VFP processor. Debian's binaries for "armhf" (hardware floating-point) are compiled for ARMv7 and won't run on the Pi's processor; Raspbian, on the other hand, is compiled for ARMv6+VFP so that it will run on the Pi.
