But also, 8 years from now, yull switch to winslop.

not yet young padawan

not yet

Sorry OP but you're not there yet. The typical journey is
> 1. start on bleeding edge,
> get "update" fatigue
> tired of feeling like a beta tester

> 2. Install debian
>"finally just werks"
> wait ... nothings happening--it's too stable!
>It's been days and I haven't had an update!
> wait that new version of <x software> looks really cool I wonder when debian stable will get it
> heheh maybe I'll just install enable Sid
> ((breaks everything))

and the cycle continues

>>105763866
>what is flatpak?

>>105763866
This >>105763946 , also appimages, the backport repository, dedicated repos and/or enabling tesiting/sid repos with lower pin priority (in a mbox environment if you want to go overkill to be extra safe).

>>105763866
Anon I know what you are talking about. It's called Shiny New Stuff Syndrome. It is very real, very serious, and it affects millions every year. It is very easily preventable thoughever:

>>105763737 (OP)
I decided to hop on debian when my mint shits itself once I finally decide to upgrade to 21.3

>>105763866
>> wait ... nothings happening--it's too stable!
Woman moment

sorry, but I don't want my pc to run wokeware

>>105763866
I never had the urge to update things that just werk, that's typical nigger, woman or zoomer behavior

>outdated packages, even compilers are too old
as a cpp dev, no thanks for me

>>105763866
>We have mdm software that lists everyone's machine and kernel version on the updates page
>Me running debian is aeons behind everyone else
It's embarrassing and cringe, there so much good shit in newer version kernels
Debian is good for like 3 months after a new major release and then sucks for desktops, it's server software
>Just run testing anon

It's embarrassing that you don't even know what you talking about.

The new stable (Trixie) will still be "old".
There is unstable (Sid) and if you need faster go to Ubuntu with have a fast release branch.

A greybeard sysadmin is talking, listen and learn.

>Posted it too quick award
Fuckwits like you spout this utter bullshit all the time to unsuspecting anons.
Debian unstable receives no (as in fucking zero) security updates from Debian, it's all on individual package maintainers who mostly don't give a shit about it and just do it for stable
Now either your a glowie or a complete idiot telling people to install unstablem A glowie I could forgive, it's just a job.
Anyone else I can't, you're a naive dumbfuck telling people this stuff and really need to be mocked for it until you stop.
Debian unstable is one of the most dangerous distros on earth to install as a personal computing device

>>105763737 (OP)
anyway, is it safe to switch from bookworm to trixie already ? Or is it better to wait for the official launch ?

>>105766420
on kde i have a panel krash on boot sometimes but otherwise its smooth

now that I can just be like "YO TELL ME HWO THE FUCK I GET MY PHONE TO SHOW UP IN THE FUCKING FILE MANAGER WHEN I PLUG IT IN" to chatgpt and get spoonfed, I prefer vanilla debian

>>105763866
Then you all realize.

>>105770271
You only get this if youre afraid to debug a PC and hate mommy-os' like Mint

>>105763737 (OP)
How good is the LTS compared to Ubuntu?

>>105770640
Debian is *the* LTS distro. It has better LTS than Ubuntu. There's a reason so many server boxes run Debian, it's designed for long-term stability.

>>105763866
Then you reinstall and use Testing repos and have a little self control to wait a month for X feature to be released to testing after 98% of the bugs are worked out.

Took you long enough, been chilling with Debian stable since 2022. Flatpaks, Appimage and Distrobox make it easy. I don't even need to backport anything, but the option is always there.
