I'm really not looking forward to this shit, bookworm broke my font rendering many things on my config because of what they did to fontconfig

why are you using urxvt in $CURRENT_YEAR?

>>106107524
because it loads instantly even on shit hardware, it's server/client based, none of the VTE-based terminals do that

>>106107045 (OP)
I'm not upgrading until sometime in 2026
maybe March 15th

>>106107045 (OP)
>drops 32bit
boo

>>106107283
>mono-serif
based?

>>106107045 (OP)
Why wait, runs great already

>>106107045 (OP)
Any significant changes? New default DE? Native support for 32 bit applications? Shit like that?
Or are these more backend and kernel changes nobody gives a shit about?

Why is urxvt drawing the prompt halfway down the screen?
I already tried xterm, and other shells, it only happens in urxvt even without .Xresources loaded.

Also GTK2 is functionally gone, I don't wanna upgrade anymore.

Debian is a slow-moving system. Major versions of everything stay locked in for the entirety of the release. This is desirable to those of us who want everything to work the same way tomorrow that it worked yesterday.
So what a new release means in Debian is that we get more up-to-date software (which is still behind what most in the Linux world are using).
We're okay with that. If we wanted newer we'd use something more bleeding edge.

>>106108866
I should have added that we only have new releases every 2 years. So, the previous version has software that's 2.5 - 3 years old.

>>106107209
i only want to know about that.

>>106107209
>>106109160
usually it's about two months later

>>106108268
Now that i think about it the only reasonable alternatives to urxvt do not have server feature
Theres foot, which I use, but its wayland only

I also use a >>106108578 Mono serif, computer modern from donald knuth to be precise

Jeremy Bicha is welcome in ChaosXAnthology.
Richard Matthew Stallman is welcome in ChaosXAnthology.

Seething Christian Feminists who hate YHWH's pro-child bride Old Testament, and who don't do anything code wise, are not welcome.
Brian Lunduke type Neo-Jesus' who heard the seething white faggot christian feminists who have filtered into linux recently, are also not wanted, since they do not code free software.
They just seek to take over what Men built.

>>106107045 (OP)
plz no

>>106109315

How do I handle ZFS upgrades if the package is from backports? Do I just remove the pin files, sudo apt update, sudo apt full-upgrade, and then add back the pin files for when ZFS backports start showing up in trixie?

>>106107045 (OP)
I don't feel it anymore. Used to shill it to everyone who would listen, but I just don't feel it anymore.
Protecting a child sex predator has really made me not like debian anymore. I didn't like canonical and ubuntu anyways, but debian just taking Jeremy Bicha off of their hands has ruined it for me.
