My Sister works for the State Dept and uses a computer all day long. The last thing she wants to do when she gets off work is touch one. But al she knows is the program she runs. When it goes down she calls someone like us to come fix it. She readily admits she couldn't follow my FreeBSD Beginner's Tutorial.
I've only met 1 person in 17 years that knew what FreeBSD was and turned out he lived in the same building in Public Housing I do. He had a Degree in Computer Science - Communications and knew what BSD was but OD's before I got a chance to set one up for him. I don't know anyone who uses Linux or doesn't go glassy-eyed if I talk about bots.
I just came from a forum where it was the kewl thing to do to bash Kali, and none of them had actually used it or could run a BSD box. Yet could not help but tell me one after another how dogs and cats would start sleeping together if continued my ways as a heretic and chicken little felt hit their head that had to be the sky falling.
I'm sick of it and sick of people trying to tell me what's best for me just because they can't do it themselves
I've got a link to my site in my profile where you can take a look at my FreeBSD tutorial, if you like. My post of it in the FreeBSD forums has over 100,000 views alone. I don't track visitor to my site.

This banter tells me everything I need to know about you. I'm done talking to you. I'll just suggest that you might be happier over on the commercial platforms where attention seeking reigns supreme.

I would say that was dramatic enough to apply to your own advise.canci wrote: ↑2022-04-02 20:39 >I'm sick of it and sick of people trying to tell me what's best for me just because they can't do it themselves

But you may be right. When I googled Debian forums to get the address the second biggest search term was "Debian forums rude". About 985,000 results, so you have me at roughly a 10 to 1 ratio.
The difference being one was for being helpful and the other...not so much.

Re: Debian should seriously consider rolling release version
@Trihexagonal
Did you actually read any of the search results? The ones about Arch Linux and Ubuntu etc. Did you check out the dates of some of the entries e.g. 2008?
Try again using some quote marks - "Debian User Forums" rude
Read the entries. Check out the dates. Bear in mind that the forum has been running since 2004.
Find very many recent entries?
Things can change over time.

Re: Debian should seriously consider rolling release version
Debian Sid with Incoming and Experimental repos.
Plus flatpaks and snap for a couple of newer apps and you are good to go.

Re: Debian should seriously consider rolling release version
Sid yes. Incoming and Experimental is a bit too rich for my blood.
What benefits are you seeing with them? I'm curious to know as it might be worth a try for shits -n- giggles

Re: Debian should seriously consider rolling release version
Experimental I haven't messed with in a while.
Incoming gets updated even more often than Sid.
YES I chase SNS!!!!
Packages: 3249 apt: 3230 flatpak: 11 snap: 8
My actual sources.lists:
The few actual apps I have from flatpak enable me to run apps that require either Gnome or KDE depends, neither of which I want.
Snap I have a newer Firefox since the version in Sid is still broken on arm64.
