From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I s2g im gonna become one of those psychos who runs the oldest Debian that still gets security updates behind a pfsense with whitelisting.

You already said Debian. The rest is redundant.

Please forgive me, as a Debian user I’m prone to senior moments and will soon have my driving license legally revoked.

It's okay. That's how you know how stable we are.

Debian users are so stable, that they're not allowed on planes.

Debian users are so stable, that the Higgs boson was only found once thet had left the room.

I have more mild disses.

Stares in Debian Testing. (Though I use Bookworm on my laptop, probably soon to be Trixie. Nice thing about Trixie is I'll no longer have to use the Backports kernel on my Thinkpad and can just stay on the LTS one.)

I was looking for some excitement in my life so I installed Arch on my primary device.
I'm disappointed. I've had zero issues.
Okay, one issue, but I had that with Debian too. (recovering from sleep mode)

I use Arch and Debian. More issues on Debian for sure. Both have way fewer problems than Ubuntu. The myths around this really bug me.
