Why is Ubuntu used instead of Debian?

Hello!

I would like to understand why Ubuntu was chosen for projectinstead of Debian.

Considering that Debian is often regarded as a more stable and minimalistic system, I'm curious to know what advantages made Ubuntu the preferred choice in this case. Could it be due to better driver support, package management convenience, or other factors?

I would appreciate any clarification.

Thank you!

Hello there!

We chose to compile binaries for Ubuntu simply based on our server deployment back in the days, nothing against Debian. Also, Ubuntu is more user-friendly for the enthusiasts :) If you're using Debian you can try:

• Running Ubuntu binaries to see if it works
• Manually compile them for Debian

Alternatively, we can just add Debian as a target to our CI, so the next release will include binaries for Debian (also need to adjust install/update scripts if you're self-hosting with that setup).

Hi!

It would be great if you could include Debian binaries in the next release and update the corresponding install and update scripts. This could be useful for many users who prefer Debian but want to use your software without having to compile it manually.

Thanks!

The "ubuntu-22_04-x86-64" binary variant works fine on Debian.
