  • I’m talking about third party software, not what’s in the repository.
    It’s usually available as .deb or .rpm and nothing else.
    On Arch someone may or may not have converted it and put it in the AUR, and it may or may not be maintained.

    Besides, I run Sid, which isn’t point release nor outdated.




  • yes I know. (Besides, Debian’s official documentation isn’t the wiki, but the Debian handbook).
    The point is, on Debian you don’t need the wiki. Things that are a long manual process on Arch (best example: Nextcloud) are already preconfigured or there’s a ready made solution available.


  • Oh yeah, I always use the graphical expert installer. If the normal installer defaults to 1GB of swap without telling you, that’s pretty bad.
    1GB swap is pointless IMO. Either make the swap space twice your RAM or don’t bother.

    Still don’t know how that could fuck up drivers though. On a normal system, I don’t even use swap anymore.
