Debian used to be so good. What happened!? (lemmy.world)

Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do...

The last paragraph is vital. Grab a flatpak of any software you need to be more up to date. Flatpaks running on Debian are amazing. Current software running on a stable base.

Wait, you're not making your sexuality and gender your identity?

Loser.

That's the least of your worries. Once it reboots, its proprietary spyware...errr...AI...will resume taking screenshots of everything you do.

I can't wait for some new bargain Linux machines.

Buying a Mac didn't help.

My coworker does graphic design, and he paid $8k for his Mac laptop.

I honestly don't know if there's anything I could order in a Windows/Linux laptop that would add up to $8k.

I get great performance out of my $90 eBay laptop running Debian, by the way.

I was team VLC for certain things it could do, and then I found that MPV could do all those things and more. Crazy how versatile it is.

It's definitely not as bad as people make out. That said, I only run Arch on my main machine, and Debian on the rest. Just in case, you understand.

Two choices in the end game.

Ready to go out of the box? Mint.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Debian.

And then there's the secondary question for some of us... the machine you game on?

Ready to go? Fedora, Pop, or several other choices.

Bare install where you pick your programs? Arch.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

growingentropy ,

I think he was being as glib as the person he was responding to, to mirror the "Biden or fascism" dynamic.

growingentropy ,

I just can't believe it's gonna be these two losers again. This is our best and brightest?

Lame.
