I have used Debian for the past 3 years, who else uses Debian?
Also, what makes you use Debian?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

My journey started with a Debian based distro called College Linux, got the CD in a magazine I think. I used Debian a bit after that, but was on Ubuntu for the systemd transition.
Did anyone live through the systems transition on Debian, how was it? Was it Jessie? I don't think I successfully upgraded a single Ubuntu server VM without issue.
