This doesn’t bring me joy because I don’t even know how to pronounce it. Is it like “zebian?” Maybe it’s “eksebian?” “Shebian?” “Hebian?” I guess I’ll have to throw it away or donate it. No joy.
Who is Marie Kondo? Do I need to know her?
I think she is known for the idea that throwing away stuff you don’t need makes you happy.
Only if you follow stupid, new agey notions about being happy while ordering your house.
I have no clue
The article title doesn’t spark joy. I knew about her Netflix programme, but I never knew her name until I looked it up.
What is the point this?
The idea is probably to make it easier to get a useful configuration out of Debian. SpiralLinux does the same thing.
Debian’s preinstalled software on some desktops is one of my main problems with the distro and one of the reasons I hesitate to recommend it to newbies, so I like the idea behind something like this or SpiralLinux, but I wouldn’t use either distro myself, because I find that the more a distro deviates from upstream and adds its own configurations, the harder it is to troubleshoot issues or configure them the way I like.
As for Xebian, I don’t see the point of trying to make Debian Sid easier to install. It’s a development release, guaranteed to have many bugs, and not really suitable for the average user. If you can’t install and “declutter” sid yourself, it’s better to be using the latest stable or even testing release.
