Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I'm new-ish to Linux and new to Debian, but I literally just did a (second) Debian 12 install, so I have one note about your Firefox's documentation, specifically about "chromium's suggestion" when uninstalling Firefox. https://makedebianfunagainandlearnhowtodoothercoolstufftoo.computer/doku.php?id=start:firefoxesr
Besides Firefox ESR, it came bundled with "Konqueror". Don't know if it depends on your installation's configuration, though. I selected to install "non-free" software, if it helps. So for me it didn't complain when I uninstalled Firefox ESR, it just set Konqueror as the default web browser
@Olissipo @Thief Konqueror is KDE specific.
It is also a file browser.
Makes sense, thank you for the clarification.
And apparently also supports FTP/SFTP, quite nifty.
