    Fun fact: you can use command uptime to check how long it's been since Debian was installed

    Everyone shits on stable, including myself, but wow is it nice. The possibility of a breaking change is infinitesimal. It's so refreshing being able to just open my laptop and do things without worrying about general OS maintenance

    I setup Debian with MATE for a friend who had only used Window$ and had little to none technical knowledge, then setup cronjobs for 1) upgrading all installed packages 2) her data to be rsynced between the two built-in SSDs. It's been a year now, she has asked for help only twice, both of them involving complex third-party software.

    After early "distro" on floppies that wasn't really distro, the first one I really used was Debian, then I used Ubuntu and Mint, then MX for almost 10 years now. All based on Debian.

    I'm using MX on my work PC that I use daily, update every day, never broken.

    NixOS anyone? NGL I envy based Debian ppl who just focus on work and not get lost in the distrowars. Good week to all :)
