Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do they even need busybox if the base install already comes with full gnu coreutils? I remember Debian as the distro that Just Wroks(TM), when did it all go so wrong? Is anyone else here having similar issues, or am I doing something wrong?

Again, not arguing against, just why I don’t…. You do you, I’m just talking about me. Just cause I don’t use something for some reason doesn’t make me anti that thing. Linux community can be so volatile sometimes

fair, that i heard so much shit about people hating flatpak when it can be very helpful for newcomers that it got to my head, sorry

It can be tough through words to understand intent sometimes, and I to write sarcastic and dry, so no problem.

Flatpak is helpful, it’s how I ran several programs before my work forced me to windows, it does have its place in the toolbox.
