debian gave me my life back.

it enabled my life; my profession would be different and its impact on my life (ie payrate & mobility) cannot be understated.

i would have been a factory or domestic worker like my parents and siblings.

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.
