compiling doom on it rn.
There used to be a subreddit called r/unexpecteddebian or something. I think it's gone now.
Even if it isn't gone, it is gone.
i think it's r/debianinrandomplaces?
This was it. Thanks!
That's a pretty old kernel you got there
yeah I stole the meme a year ago and never bothered to post it LMAO
Isn't that common for Debian?
Not unless you just don't update. That kernel is pretty old
https://packages.debian.org/source/stable/linux
6.1 is the current kernel that debian uses. so it's not like debian is brand new anyway.
Still the newest LTS and CIP version which is classic Debian longevity, 6.1 is supported to 2033.
Kind of why I run Debian, preference for stability over newness.
Debian's stability doesn't mean "rock solid, no crashes." It means "non-changing, you don't have to worry about configs suddenly being incompatible."
There have been plenty of situations where I've found that Debian won't update a package. They backport "security" fixes. But only on certain packages. If a package that is not on the Debian maintenance radar, or the bug isn't "serious" enough to be "security" related, that bug will be in Debian for years. And the end result is needing to compile your own.
If for your workflow, it is a critical package, then Debian becomes more prone to crashes than other distros, and you could argue it's less stable.
I still use it for my server, which is just dockerized everything anyway (using the docker repos, because Debian's docker is excessively out of date), but neovim is on version 0.7.2 (even in sid, you have to go to experimental to get to 0.9.5, which is the current). If there are bugfixes between 0.7.2 and 0.9.5 beyond "security" ... you don't get them. And you won't even get them in the next version. Which means if you need any 0.8 features/bugfixes, you won't get them for years.
No, this is Patrick
