Maybe just link to debian.org (Was: How to properly cite Debian in an academic work?)

Hi Joenio,

I like your idea of citing Debian in an academic
work.

Both can aspire to the ideal of shared knowledge.

Plus, a citation might raise awareness.

I quickly searched for

     how to properly cite Debian in an academic work?

but didn't see any obvious answer.

I humbly suggest simply citing Debian with
something like its name and a link to
https://www.debian.org/.

Maybe like...

    [1] Debian Operating System
        https://www.debian.org/

Thanks for your clever idea.

Kind regards,
Kingsley
