I personally have little issues with systemd (okay, services can stall sometimes, true), but I appreciate brave minds who use other init systems and keep the variety for us to enjoy should we want to.

Just mentioned it as one of the few controversies surrounding Debian :D But then, on the other hand, there’s Devuan for those folks as well…

I actually prefer the start menu of Windows 10 and appreciate KDE going a similar way on Linux

I think Windows 10 has nailed it UI/UX-wise.

Too bad they enshittified it into oblivion.

Debian is independent, OG, a base of so many distros, it is objectively the most stable Linux in existence, it has its own libre kernel…what’s not to love?

Ah, right.

systemd.

It is important! No matter what, an employee must be polite and do their job. Moreover, the customer can have a pin as well, which may dictate how they should be approached.

It would absolutely be nice to regulate your expression based on how another person feels. That’s basic empathy and compassion.

And even as a customer, I do care about people who deliver services to me, and do not want to make their day worse. Moreover, I think treating workers as something more than soulless dispensers might bring us all closer together, and help us understand each other, which ultimately leads to more love and care in the world and less isolation - which, in turn, is considered to be one of the primary ways to combat mental health crises.

Was enough to make a crack, so, now we all can play it without DRM anyway

that

Better?

This plug is not meant to enter an electric socket, mind you!

Red = I inform people on my current mental state

Green = I inform people on my current mental state

Wearing pin at all = I inform people on my current mental state

Taking care of yourself is step 1 to being good to others. Ignoring your depletion only leads to growth of anger and worsening relationships with people around you. Ain’t it better to let them know you’re not in the mood and this has nothing to do with them personally?

They have it the other way around

Because it’s directed at other people and instructs them on how safe it is to approach you

Even as a first-time user, you’ll figure it our rather quickly, no worries. It’s not rocket science, just an option to toggle that allows you to install more modern versions of apps in an isolated mode.

But if we only look at regular installs, your software will stay at the same version until Debian 13 is rolled out, likely in summer 2025. Do not expect any large updates at all until then.

I see, thanks for sharing!

Yep, true. But currently, I don’t see much point in LMDE, as Debian 12 is user-friendly enough as it is - though you’re free to disagree.

Yes, there are notifications. Be aware that, unless you use Flatpaks again, you’ll not have many functional updates - mostly just security. That’s just the way of Debian - keeping you on the same software for 2+ years in the name of stability. Unless you use Debian Testing, that is.

Yeah, I am aware of some of those controversies, and they sure are unfortunate!

However, it’s really, really hard to find a well-supported distro free of controversies. Still doesn’t excuse Manjaro on that front.

I personally did not test Arch for such a long time, but what I had I certainly didn’t like. Also, full barebones approach is not for me, and more of an enthusiast kind of thing. So, to each their own indeed!

I see!

Thanks! I see

As someone mildly interested in OpenSUSE and currently on an Arch-based distro, how much do you miss AUR? Or do you use Distrobox?
