What are your thoughts on Debian trixie ? I’ve been on many distros but never seen so much hype about Debian on mastodon. Currently using void and Mac OS but don’t know what will get me to try trixie when i’ve hopped to Debian so many times

    I love Debian stable and use it on most my computers, servers included. I love that it is boring, that potentially breaking updates occur only every release and I usually wait a bit before I apply them. For the rare software where I want (rarely need) a more recent version, there are backports, flatpaks, or sometimes 3rd party repos, or even build-yourself-from-the-README if I’m really in the mood.

      I like the flatpak method just cause Debian uses the same base for 2 Years and easier to get newer programs that need a recent enough base
