Also Debian user remembering the last official release:
Debian is honestly goated. Like I love me a nice boring stable distro that just keeps on chugging. I have done such crazy stuff to Debian and it just refuses to care. It’s like a nokia phone that got run over by a car and still works.
It’s the same for me for my Fedora install on my laptop, I installed version 38 when I got my laptop and now it’s on version 44, next week I’ll upgrade it to 45. It’s been rock solid, never had any issues with it.
Running my workstation and server on Debian stable. Debian always. Debian forever.
I always looked at their pace as a feature, not a bug.
Some features are just bloat.
Debian has become my favorite server OS. Some more specialized distros are great for specific use cases, but for 90% of my stuff, I just install Debian and chill.
Debian the foundation of the modern world. Or at least we wish it was.
it is. at least in the digital world. good chance it’s running the server you are receiving my message through
I surfed a few distros before landing on Debian. It solved (almost) all the issues I had with Linux. Debian for life.
How does Debian do level and security updates? Are they generally a good pace but userland starts consistent?
They backport security updates to the existing software versions on stable, which causes the packages to be secure without introducing new behavior. Feature updates only occur with a new stable release I believe.
Debian 14 is here?
They broke apt-get and I don’t like apt
Too bad they too bit the AI bullet.
