Re: How to properly cite Debian in an academic work?

Nowadays it is customary to cite software. It is even required in an
increasing number of settings, in particular reproducible science.
Debian publishes a software distribution, which can certainly be cited.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts here, it's a valuable point for me
knowing that a software distribution such as Debian can be cited.
It is not quite relevant to Debian, but when asking for a grant,
your software having citations really helps, whether it is 10, 100
or 1000.
Good point. I agree that as Debian is not a scientific software (or,
better: Research Software) I suppose it's in fact not so relevant
to the project for now.
I would just write
[1] Debian GNU/Linux, version 12.7, the Debian project, https://www.debian.org
I think it is good enough for now for my case.
Thanks,
