debian? kde? arch? nixos? gentoo? Ubuntu? what the hell are all of these? just use mint, it basically fits every use case.

hemko ,

I use Debian btw

NathanClayton ,

KDE? Who needs anything other than FVWM2 or CDE?

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

As someone who loves the old designs (I’ve run Chicago95 for years now), the only thing stopping me from running CDE is it lacks first-class support from any distro I’ve used

crispy_kilt ,

Btw I use Debian

well at least they aren’t trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.

This should be a jailable crime.

Debian was the first distro I tried when switching to Linux. Didn’t ever make it through the install process…

Skill issue

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Was he supposed to start with a higher skill level or something? That’s like the “just be born richer” attitude of tech

Siegfried ,

Nah, it sounded funny…

“Just be born richer” sounds funnier though

Anyway, Debian had a reputation of being really difficult to install in the late 2000’s. I probably got lucky with it. I started using it in 2011 (first time using linux and a computer illiterate just as today) and i went through it just the MS way, like “whatever, continue, continue”.

It’s my main OS since 2013

Okay… No.

I would uninstall the screensaver so fast if I saw a nag screen. Wtf it’s a screensaver, what does it matter? I’ll use a version that’s 50 years old if I want to.

bisby ,

Because the dev gets a huge number of bug reports for bugs that were resolved 5 versions ago.

They actually asked debian to stop shipping the screensaver, because they were getting tired of saying “this is already fixed, debian is just not going to ship the fix for another year”. Debian didn’t want to stop, so the dev added the nag screen, because it was the only way to stop the flood of bug reports for things that were already fixed.

Do people not check what version of software they have and what’s newest (and if the issue exists is a good idea too) before reporting a bug?

bisby ,

Should they? Yes. They should also be searching for previous bug reports. I’m sure a lot of people do. But if you have enough users, even if 1% of people don’t use good reporting behaviors, you wind up with a lot of duplicate or bad reports.

There are plenty of blog posts out there that basically can be summarized as talking about how grueling open source work can be because users are often aggressive in their demands.

But this is a prime example of debian “stable” doesn’t mean “no crashes” but instead it means “unchanging, which means any bugs and crashes will remain for the whole release”

OsrsNeedsF2P ,

Lots of people simply don’t know.

Source: I filed bug reports to Fcitx when I first installed Debian, because I didn’t realize Debian shipped packages from the before the stone ages

Malfeasant ,

Lololololololol. No, they do not. I support a product that gets updated roughly quarterly, and the number of times people complain about their vulnerability scanner finding something when they’re on a 4 year old version is too damn high.

MNByChoice ,

This is great! No better way to demonstrate how perfect Debian is! Debian for the win!

fluxion ,

History will not remember Debian users well

kamenoko ,

“At least they weren’t Arch users”

gwen ,

i use arch btw

kamenoko ,

I’m using KDE Neon at the moment. It’s pretty good.

possiblylinux127 ,

Oh, Debian!

marduk ,

The “install lib-blah-blah-blah” bit doesn’t bother me 'cause whenever I need to make something work, I just copy and paste the “sudo apt install …” commands straight from the internet :)

steersman2484 ,

I also never used version pinning in debian

I don't. So... uhm... you're wrong I guess.

This is a pretty old template iirc

It’s so old it’s still shipping in bookworm
