TLDW from ChatGPT:
The video is a critique of the Debian Linux distribution’s website and its user experience, primarily focusing on the difficulties in finding and downloading the appropriate ISO images. The presenter praises Debian’s stability and community but criticizes the website’s design, stating that it’s not user-friendly, especially for new Linux users. The video highlights how the website layout, multiple clicks, and confusing file tree structure can make it challenging to locate the desired ISO images, particularly for the live installer versions. The presenter suggests that while improvements have been made, the ISO download process can still be convoluted and feels like the distribution is not encouraging new users. The overall message conveys a desire for Debian to make its ISOs more easily accessible and user-friendly.
If you can’t figure out something as simple as how to navigate their website, you probably shouldn’t be using Debian as a distro anyway.

Naive Linux users and gatekeepers.
There’s another kind I count myself to: realistic Linux users.
Linux can be a real alternative - if you have issues with Windows/Mac and are willing to tinker every once in a while. And you don’t mind playing AAA competitive shooters since those come with rootkits that won’t ever fly on Linux.
My point was that there’s way easier versions of Linux to use than Debian. Using Debian has a learning curve associated with it that’s more difficult than simply using their website.
Bro this is useless gatekeeping.
Debian has gotten so much easier to install since the release of bookworm, so I wouldn’ t be surprised more new users show interest to try it out.

If they can find the ISO to download. 😆
Every time I download the Debian ISO there is at least 1 “Why is this so hard?” thought.
Or maybe if we can’t even design a website with a simple download page we can’t be surprised if people don’t use linux
