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.

You do know that you can get more up to date packages from other sources?
I get nginx from them and PHP from an ex deb dev
Plus everything is in containers now so you can pull or build what you like
