No distro I'm aware of still provides official box sets and CDs. Debian still provides materials for third parties to make them, though. Most of the vendors of pre-burned Linux media have also shut down, but one that seems to still exist (and offers Debian box sets) is https://www.shoplinuxonline.com/ .

Debian Stable, in my experience, can stay online for months, even over a year, with very little attention, and still work as well as you left it. You can also install RHEL or a rebuild, like AlmaLinux, RockyLinux, or Oracle Linux, as a workstation distro.

As for the device, my use case is fairly different so I'm not sure what to suggest. Maybe an Intel NUC, or a Framework laptop.

I can't object to more Jett Reno!

I hope these shots aren't a good representation of the whole episode, because if they are, it's a 15 minute scene of L'Ak and Moll on a planet followed by 35 minutes of close-up shots of Rayner

This really bothers me. Closed standards locked behind a licensing fee may as well not be standards at all, in my opinion.

If you're using Debian stable, hopefully you fully expect and want not to get major software updates until long after they release, in exchange for a more predictable system.

I'm excited for Plasma 6 but I'm very willing to wait for it, and stick to 5.27 as a daily driver for the next year.

Debian needs a better installer. It'd be awesome if it had something more akin to Fedora/RHEL's Anaconda, or even just made Calamares the default (so long as it didn't install every single locale available like their live inages currently do).

No, but I do remember using the autism(at)a.gup.pe group. Not sure it still exists but I had some nice interactions there.

No, but I do remember using the @autism@a.gup.pe group. Not sure that still exists but it was a nice community.

Used to, left recently. But the autistic community there was easily one of the best parts.

I really liked the simplicity of GNOME To Do when it was around. The successor seems to be GNOME Endeavor, which I haven't tried extensively.
