    The thing is, with public planning, zoning laws etc. you can make it possible. People generally move to where the jobs are, and that tends to be cities. It’s basically why Spain’s population is so concentrated in the cities, much more so than in other similarly-sized european countries. In the US, zoning laws were a huge part of how it became so car-reliant, too.

    I do have it installed, even did some gaming with it. It’s not better at gaming. I’ve been considering to switch because I do agree that Canonical definitely sucks more than the Debian project - it’s just that none of the issues that Canonical has make Debian a better gaming distro.


  • It depends on the games you play and how long you wait after a game’s release. Maybe if your GPU is from NVIDIA, AMD/Radeon or Intel. I use Ubuntu LTS on my main PC and every once in a while, there is a game that just doesn’t work until I install newer drivers and kernels (the newer packages get automatically disabled when you do a major version update, so I can test this about every 2 years). I have no reason to believe that this would be any different on Debian stable.






  • I think caffeine also supresses certain kinds of headaches on its own, without the addiction. I had headaches before starting my caffeine habit and I also had them like half a year into quitting caffeine completely, and IME the caffeine definitely helps with them even when I wasn’t years into a habit of drinking several cups of coffee every day.

    Sometimes, you do need some newer packages (e.g. for gaming), and Debian is … not very good at facilitating that, even if it’s usually possible, in theory, to install newer packages from Sid. Flatpaks or manually installing stuff through git etc. help, but that doesn’t work well for stuff like GPU drivers.
