but i have always used debian. twenty something years ago i remember trying debian, red hat, and slackware. i settled on debian probably because it was the first distro i figured out apt with and that made everything easy.

macOS on my Dell laptop has better battery life than Linux

>>110176860
What you can do with it though? Just put it idling and watch the battery drain?

The creators of my series of laptops actively supports arch. The latest debian release broke my keyboard, can't even unencrypted the drive without plugging in a USB keyboard to the laptop. If shit's going to break I'd rather use the distro with active support and the latest releases.
Also niri + noctalia is so cozy

That desk is right up against a radiator in front of a window so you just know it's top cozy in the winter. I use Xubuntu LTS now because Debian had a lot of little hiccups that annoyed me. I don't like having to fidget with my OS when I have something I'm trying to get done. Xubuntu just works. Although I probably should have gone with Mint Xfce but it's not worth the time to reinstall.

You know they provide a more up-to-date branch (Debian Testing) that you can use instead of the mainline version (Debian Stable), right?

>>110176541
I spent some time living in a Devuan build before. It was comfy. It's basically Debian; but with either SysVinit, OpenRC or Runit. Your choice of init will obviously change how you manage services on your system, but other than that, it feels almost exactly like Debian.

I would actually rate Devuan above Debian, simply because it gives you the freedom to choose your init software. I recommend at least giving it a shot and seeing what you think. You can always go back to normal Debian later if you don't like it.

thats for the weak minded, lfs or nothing

>>110176465
Two reasons. One specific, one more general.

Specific: There is a specific program that is only available as a binary. It runs fine on every distro I've tried it on except for Debian.

General: install Debian and then type "which which." Go down the rabbit hole to find where the executable actually is located. Spoiler: Debian is a series of kludges of and workarounds that would make Rube Goldberg envious.

Why aren't you using Slackware or Void?

>>110176849
Same actually. I maintain my moms Mint desktop and my brother does her Fedora? Laptop. Personally I want something that runs XFCE and It may as well be Xubuntu. But I think Mint is the more based version of Ubuntu by disabling Canonical snaps.
My gaming PC gets CachyOS but that's a single-purpose OS for maximum frames. And I like that it just hands you options on a silver platter like the thing with keeping your Firefox profile in RAM.
I loved Debian and the OS on my first PC was Debian Sarge when I was about 13. I was really proud when I installed java runtime and could play Runescape but had to manually kill the sound server and start esd or alsa I don't remember.
Anyway so... I think I don't run Debian for no good reason whatsoever. I think I am bored though and I told myself I would be a much cooler hacker if I set out to use other distros.
I tried KaOS and it's cool but I don't have a multi-monitor setup. I don't have anything productive I do with any PC really, so I have a hard time judging what I'm doing and what if anything is effective and ergonomic or whatever. Mint is comfy and lets me forget about the OS I'm using.
In pursuit of an interesting OS I'm going to install eweOS and decide it will be my OS I use for everything except gaming.
Distro's I miss: the original Mandriva. So gorgeous and comfy. Ubuntu 6.06 with the brown theme.

No I didn’t, but it’s still two 1-2 months behind rolling release distros. KDE is still on 6.7.4 and Firefox for Debian testing is still on 153.5

I’ll stick to Tumbleweed/Gentoo, thank you very much

>>110179864
First of all, lol.
I riced my desktop in my spare time because having a waybar with solid color rectangles instead of icons was not aesthetic. Niri is convenient and easy to use/configure once you learn how to use it. Better than a floating window manager where you have to click and drag windows into place, click an icon to expand, shrink or hide. With niri, everything just falls into place. It's simple and elegant. Noctalia makes it look pretty: changes themes to wallpaper colors, even makes it easy to have audio display every time you play audio. Makes your desktop look like an old stereo.

Maybe you need some time away from the computer, buddy. I'm being genuine, as that's not a healthy response to someone liking a window manager with a shell.

Why are you niggas so retarded?
>the firefox in stable/testing is ESR 153.5.1
>the firefox in the sid repo is 158.0.1
>the newer versions of both weren't released until earlier today
you can also just use the firefox repos since everybody supports debian

>>110176465
Because Arch is better

My bad, looked at the site when 153.5 was still the one listed. Regardless, my point still stands, KDE progress on debian testing still lags behind around a whole month

>>110182754
>a month behind for a well-tested stable distro vs shit breaking every 6 months
seems like a fair trade. other than security patches (which get ported in for debian), the only use case for having software updated that rapidly is autism

GNOME. Literally that's why. It's like an iPad desktop environment.

It functions nothing like one. Quit being a bitch getting hangups over default aestetics

>>110183609
They don't allow their users to change the aesthetics or functionality. You need to install a real desktop instead of GNOME and then the system wasn't explicitly designed to work with that and thus it's jank (same thing if you explicitly hack GNOME, it makes jank).

>>110183652
Nigga the whole point of gnome is to see as little of the UI as possible. Shit's bad for oleds.
