Yes, it is just Debian, by design, but takes a lot of the hassle out have having a functional desktop. I know the next time I do a Debian install it will be done with Spiral, because it will save me time an trouble. Additionally, for peolple new to Linux, they don’t even know that a Debian install is not a finished state or what they need to do after installing. Spiral makes Debian proper accessible and safer for new users.
How is the existence of Spiral Linux out of character or step with the existing Linux space. As far as I can tell, there have been a great many Linux hammers and nails to choose from to fit the various needs and fancies of people. Additionally, there may be a bunch of solutions to my need, but Spiral is the one I know about.
I am not sure you understand what finally means. It is saying that what has been attempted before has been successfully done now. There is no implication of “revolutionary”, but tather iteration.
Ya I kinda agree with you on this. I usually manually install everything but I’m getting lazy. I like pure debian so I will probably spin this up for a test. I’m trying to get back into the BSDs tho.

I mean there’s quite a few Debian-based distros that solve that issue…

True, I just don’t think the concept of Spiral Linux is revolutionary.
Was anyone saying that?
Yes, whoever wrote the word “finally” in the title of this post was saying that.
