Debian 13 keeps everything with .deb packaging ---- like it should be.
I only do one upgrade (when I want to) which does everything on my system at once ------ even thousands of packages at a time.
Ian Murdock was a genius --- he did not kill himself with a vacuum cleaner cord --- he was suicided. He was a threat to Microsoft. His packaging system lives on.
Ofc bro. Same as Aaron Schwartz that created reddit. A lot of suicides arent suicides. They will make your life hell if you dont bend your knees to them and shut up.
About the updates, its so tiresome, everyday updates, usually making things worse and worse, taking out features and adding shit.
I really stopped updating after seeing 250. Some break things and change your presets and configs.
If its working, dont change it.
(I know there are security issues with CVE discovered daily and microprocessor level backdoors on intel, amd and nvidia since 2010 at least).
Ian Murdock's .deb packaging system is second to none for 'just working' while not breaking things ---- even with complicated dependencies . I'm a Linux user for 32 years now, using .deb packaging for 31 years. Redhat's .rpm is a distant second.
Already happened --- when Gnome2 went to woke Gnome3, Gnome2 forked to MATE. I chose MATE because I liked the old Gnome2. This led Ubuntu to Ubuntu MATE. Ubuntu MATE got wonky so I went back to MATE in Debian 13.
Yes. Its happening. Whats the less woke distro for you atm rn? Ive tried popOS, that is so shitty. I have Fedora and Ubuntu on usb sticks and im using another one that i wont name here so they dont corrupt it so fast. But its happening.
Yes, but its with 256 updates to do and soon AI will be put inside linux distros too. Wait for it. Woke devs everywhere.
I've done over 2000 at once.

Debian maintains a separate security repository

Thanks very much. I dont have that big experience like you but its coming a time to switch from ubuntu to another one maybe.

Debian 13 ---- no Nvidia, no Broadcom. I like AMD. Debian still does things properly.
Once you get rid of proprietary hardware, Debian 13 is as smooth as silk ---- everything is there.
Fedora uses the less desirable .rpm
.rpm came out in 1995, about 6 months after .deb
My experience back in 1995 was that .rpm was a poor imitation of .deb ---- with less packages available in .rpm.
Appreciate it a lot. Thanks.
Ubuntu got wonky on me ---- always wanting updates (upgrades) ---- I switched back to Debian ---- currently Debian 13.
The slight advantage Ubuntu had was PPAs (personal package archive) ---- Debian is addressing a similar concept as external repositories.
Yes man. Exactly.
