    There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn’t the place for it.

    Debian here. IMO “btw” is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.

      When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can’t deal with it at the moment.

        Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora’s rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.

          Dude, right? I’ve thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can’t bring myself to give up ostree.

        I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.

        I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu’s gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up

          I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.

          I’ve never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering do-make-release.

      you know which one it is.

      As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they’re wanting to hide it nowadays!

        Dumpster fires? Do you mean the untrusted repository of user-submitted build scripts getting malicious user-submitted content? :P

        Keep your official packages and AUR separate, if nothing else at least don’t pull from both sources with the same command

          I don’t know how Arch works as a Minter here. That’s good that there’s a separation line… Not sure if Mint’s Software Mgr has that…
