I'm sure you don't know what is ease-of-use.

boot time does not matter if the boot crashes. systemd is not reliable having
boot crashes after Debian upgrades. Linux distros is not reliable, that's why I
repeat: you don't know what is ease-of-use. Take a look at Apple's launchd, a
simple init system which merges just 3 old daemons into init and do things
asynchronously (speeding boot). The users want a bullshit software which
respect him/her. And what I'm talking about respect is costumers right! If you
buy a puzzle for your son and it comes with only half of parts you have the
right to complain to who sell it and he must to give you a new puzzle. That's
unfortunately does not work on open source world. Here, the users are treated
as test subjects of softwares when they just want a supposedly "better" thing
to use. That's why people feels happier using Mac or not leaving Windows.
Debian has decreasing reliability sinse Debian 7. Now take a look on the shit
of DBus. All the bugs I have seen using Linux programs like Firefox and GNOME
or KDE things are all related to DBus. systemd uses DBus heavily, you cannot
trust in this shit. Runit is available for Linux, Debian should be using it
instead.

The prove you don't know what are you talking about. FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD,
Darwin are core OSes like GNU/Linux. PC-BSD, GhostBSD, Mac OS X are desktop
OSes on top of one of that BSDs like Ubuntu is on top of GNU/Linux. have you
used pure GNU/Linux system? if so you know you cannot compare Ubuntu and
FreeBSD, but Ubuntu and PC-BSD. There are different paradigms on usability.
What you are saying is "Object-oriented programming is easier than classical
procudural imperative programming." and you are WRONG, they are just different
paradigms. If you had used pure GNU/Linux you would see FreeBSD is easier to
use than Linux. PC-BSD, Ubuntu and Mac have the same kind of usability. So stop
spreading misinformation.

I really don't know what is the world you live. You don't need add repo for
Debian, 99% packages are on main.

You are wrong and now you know that. Please stop spreadding misinformation.
