Yes. I love this meme template.

This comment was brought to you by the EndeavourOS gang.

Draegur ,

This makes Debian look kinda good actually…

mariusafa ,

What’s wrong with having a some year old software? Does it do what you need? Yes. Then what? I have all I need on Debian. Why should I care of new updates. Security? Yes we have Debian security because of that. Look, y’all had the xyz backdoor package in your systems because it was new. Me as a Debian stable user I didn’t have to deal with it. Did I lose something by not having the latests software? No. Well maybe less crashes.

Most privative software also gets weekly updates. Does it make it better? No. You may prefer that.

Also I don’t get the point about the version numbering of Debian packages. Every team uses the versioning they want.

From my experience software that updates a lot tends to break old features a lot too.

Debian suporting freesoftware projects or other stuff doesn’t look as a relevant argument. I mean if you prefer using privative stuff and using that kind of software. Do whatever you like with your Google/Facebook/Apple friends.

But don’t come intoxicate the community with this bullshit.

bruh ,

Does it do what you need?

No

phoenixz ,

Cool, get something else, then.

yum13241 ,

Because then people file bug reports for ages old software. Ancient does not equal stable!

Mentoning Iceweasel in 2024?! Where did you find this meme?! Debian stable?!

debian nightly release

We don’t talk about what happens in the night.

I have never had a good experience with a Debian server. Every single time I had to add unstable or third party repos to get anything remotely current to run. What’s the point if you have to add unstable shit anyway?

Johanno ,

That sounds like a skill issue.

muntedcrocodile ,

It makes a great headless server

Debian gives you a choice though. If you want stability, install the stable release. If you want newer packages, install the testing release. Just be sure to get security updates from unstable (sid) if you do that.

“stable” in this context means that stuff doesn’t change often. It doesn’t mean “stable” as in reliable / never crashes, although Debian is good at that too.

The packages in Debian are really old. It’s awful.

I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. “So outdated,” I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.

YEARS OF BACKPORTS yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for staying more than ONE VERSION behind

I have a really old computer that still gets the job done, and just getting up to Bullseye broke it a bit.

I know, I know, it’s just a meme.

puchaczyk ,

I just want a Debian-based distro with KDE that’s not poisoned by Canonical’s nonsense

boonhet ,

KDE Neon?

puchaczyk ,

It’s Ubuntu based

Successful_Try543 , (edited )

But afaIk without ‘Canonical’s nonsense’, e.g. snap Firefox.

WormFood ,

updating packages in kde neon is like playing russian roulette, it’s worse than pop os in my experience

Successful_Try543 ,

During usual updates? Or during the major release jump of KDE Plasma from 5.x to 6.x?

Have you tried Debian?

puchaczyk ,

I’m currently on debian. I wrote this comment as a response to the Debian slander in the meme.

pelya ,

Just do a quick simple sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop

nexussapphire ,

Man Nvidia users are going to be stoked when the get explicit sync in they’re desktop environments in two years. 😂 They’re have been so many small improvements in the Nvidia drivers up until that point I hope they actually update Nvidia drivers on Debian. I understand some of those improvements are not going to work because of the kernel version and the desktop versions.

ik5pvx ,

You can choose KDE as desktop environment during Debian installation, or replace whatever DE you installed at any time.

anzo ,

I’m using mxlinux “ahs” version, it comes with kde at their “ahs” repos for supporting latest hardware and graphics cards. You may also check for the non-ahs, there might be a meta-package for kde plasma and that’s it…

aaaaace ,

MX ?

Matriks404 ,

Why do you need it to be Debian-based?

dan ,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

I think you’re looking for Debian. If you want newer packages, run testing instead of stable.

Same, that’s why I’m using Q4OS

LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) is a wonderful self-hosting platform.

Today I learned there’s a Debian edition of mint.
