Debian: Linux for people too tired to give a shit.

Debian: I don’t care if it’s shiny, I just want my shit to work.

Debian: yeah, systemd sucks, but I’m too busy to learn a new distro and this one does the job.

Debian: I can’t justify the time to switch to FreeBSD

Debian: when stability matters more than new features.

Debian: I have work to get done, I don’t have time to learn what a Nix is.

Debian: My fifteen year old video card still works.

Debian: I refuse to spend one dollar or one hour of time to make my already paid for computer keep working the way I paid for it to work.

@mos_8502 Debian: there may be breaking changes between releases, but they are documented. Well documented.

@mos_8502 All of that was true until they switched to systemd against a majority committee decision.

@dtl @mos_8502

Debian: the failure case of surprised and delighted is startled and frightened. We are probably not going to delight you, but we definitely won’t surprise you. We promise no startling and no frightening and that’s it.

@mhoye @dtl @mos_8502 well kde gave me some surprises in the 12->13 upgrade, but thats my fault. I'm now back on cinnamon because I need something that works.

@mhoye @mos_8502 It was exim or apache that gave me a surprise in one upgrade, but that was because I didn't read the docs.

@mos_8502 and you can still run stable with sysvinit

@mos_8502 … to NetBSD, but… yeah

@werdahias @mos_8502 probably; I know 0 about openrc though so I cannot comment on it
