Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

    There is a reason some of us chose to support Debian and its model of allowing downstream companies like Ubuntu (Canonical) to give back up to the open source father. And this is it. We dont need to compromise here. We already have a system that works perfectly and provides a choice for what suits you. If you are an enterprise then try Ubuntu instead of RHEL. If you are a home user you dont need enterprise support and can help us log bug reports and create the next version of Trixie. We need more testers and we have fought this long fight and proven we wont give up. What other proof do you need?

      I got a feeling that the kind of people that use Rocky or Alma linux would have a heart attack dealing with snap on ubuntu. Maybe they’re better off switching to Debian LTS instead.

        As an inexperienced user, I can tell you that Debian is way harder to use than most people think. Out of the box, the distro is pretty bare ones. I’m having a blast using an Arch based distro, but on Debian I had to do everything manually. Stable is freaking old and unstable has lots of limitations, Docker for example is a true pain.

        Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, POP OS, are way better than Debian for users like me.

              Arch based, not the same thing. Crystal Linux bundles everything out of the box, so noobs like me don’t have to do anything.

          Stable is freaking old and unstable.

          I ll give you old but not at all unstable, wonder what instability have you found in LTS.

            Pretty sure the whole statement is

            Stable is freaking old, and unstable has lots of limitations

            I don’t think they’re saying Debian LTS is unstable.

              Exactly what my bad wording meant to say. Thank you for your extraordinary reading comprehension.

            A lot of people (incorrectly) equate “stable” with “bug-free”. So conversely, having bugs would be “unstable”.

      It’s amazing how some people have to learn the lesson that you can only trust non-profit foundations, not for-profit corporations, over and over again, and then even then it still somehow never seems to stick.
