LOL. It’s not hard at all. Run “unstable”. Unstable doesn’t mean it’s going to crash, it means it gets updated. There are zero major hoops, and Debian is usually more rock solid than its offshoots, and aside from release freeze windows is at least as up to date as those you mentioned. I mean, use whatever you want, most major distributions are going to be fine, but you don’t need to pointlessly spread FUD.
What exactly is your end goal? There might be other utilities that can get you to your wanted solution easier. I, the same as learnbyexample, did not have the problem.

Try it. Easy enough to have both options on your machine. I poke into Wayland about every 6-12 months, then go back to X11 because I just can’t be fucked with fixing shit that works under X11 and is broken with Wayland. Plenty of people try Wayland and don’t have any issues. Eventually just about everyone will be on Wayland, if that makes a difference to you. I’ll check it again in maybe near the end of 2023.
It is also one of the useful office suites that provide a native Linux experience, but sadly, it is neither free nor open-source…
That’s a hard no from me, big shoots.
I have been seeing articles, news segments, for so many years now that say some version of “It’s not too late. If we all decide to…<fill in hopium>” It’s such a delusional view of humanity.
Someone has no idea how Debian works.
It’s still open source.
I’ve been using Linux as a daily driver for a couple decades. Home and work (before retirement). Unless your work has some fucked up Windows-only requirement, there is no reason Linux won’t meet your needs.
I swear I’m seeing so many posts about NixOS I feel like it’s being spammed.
Try not using an LLM to write what you…uh…write.
Unfortunate experience, and something I’ve never had happen with Debian. I’ve been on 12 for awhile. Of course I didn’t clean install, just did a normal dist-upgrade and had no problems, as has been the case for the last decade or so on this machine.
Really sounds (sorry) like you want a hardware solution. Not sure what a linux specific solution would be.
Oh, I’ve followed this stuff for years and years. I’ve been using Linux pretty much exclusively for a quarter of a century. People love to harp on the security issues, but from what I’ve seen that’s pretty much theoretical. The only real compelling argument is that developers are leaning toward Wayland, so that’s the way it will go. I’m sure some day I’ll go to update and it’ll be time to make that change.
I’m not a developer. I wasn’t super happy with the change to systemd, but it’s not like I was the one that had to deal with the init v issues, so when it changed, I went along. I’m sure the same will happen with Wayland. The last time I tried it, a lot of my decades of cruft didn’t work, shortcuts and workflow issues. Sure, I should probably clean up all that crap anyway, but like I said, it’ll happen when it happens. Until then, I’m completely happy with X11.
Still no issues on Debian.
I tried Wayland a few times and kept running into issues. I just figure at this point I’ll stick with X11 until it fades away and I don’t have a choice. I’m not a gamer though, so I can’t say much about that.
I’ll probably take a look at it. I haven’t really changed my i3 setup in years though.
What would you use for a synonym for based? I keep seeing that used. I always thought it was just some alt-right meme bullshit, but I’m learning I was wrong. I still don’t get the use. My mind always thinks “based on what?”
I switched to tiling window managers a good 5 or so years ago and really can’t imagine using any of the DE available. I know, I know, you can run xwm in yDE, but I’ve never seen the point.
My first Linux install, about 25 years ago, didn’t come with a working XFree as well. Talk about getting dropped into the deep end. Things are so much easier these days. Thankfully.
Jesus christ. They aren’t going closed source. It’s like all these people are new to Linux and don’t understand the GPL, nor the politics behind the license.
