Debian releases are codenamed after Toy Story characters, and unstable Debian version is codenamed Sid. This character in Toy Story is a kid with emotional problems and he enjoys breaking toys... :)))) ... fantastic.

I like pretty much everything about Debian. Debian/MX is my default-go-to Linux distro. I began with it in 2011 and it has proved excellent throughout the years. 25 years old this year and going strong. Happy belated birthday Debian!

Not a contest, but I find that
