I regarded those comments as applying identically to Debian, and are true only
if you choose (a) not to use the graphical installer (which the author has
completely overlooked), and (b) fail to select "guided partitioning" and "all
files in a single partition". I do think the overall impression he gives is
unfavourable and inaccurate.

I'm rather more amazed that he labels Devuan (and therefore by extension
Debian too) as "retro" and yet gives a pretty complimentary review, in
comparison, of Slackware!
