BearPear30 years of Debian - Debian Day 2023

MocFirst time trying Linux as a desktop distro, I’m going to be running Debian. Can’t wait to see how games perform on it.
Hello fellow Debian user.
I would like to inform you that Debian is a great choice!
If you whole intent is gaming, I recommend getting the Testing discs since Debian (Stable) apps can go outdated pretty quickly.
If you don’t mind older apps and such, then a standard disc should do just fine.
If you need help, feel free to contact me on Matrix! Bye!
ameloreI game on stable, mostly through Steam, what is it that you upgraded to testing for?
I used to be on testing (Bookworm) until they switched.
I mainly was on testing for newer packages.
Still rocking bookworm!
I’m thinking of going back to Debian too, then run all my other stuff though flatpaks
suprjamiI have just made the switch from Ubuntu. Now I have a trustworthy stable base, plus selected latest apps with Flatpak and Distrobox. It’s the best of both worlds.
Yote.zipI’m doing that right now and it’s excellent
MarxineFlatpaks and homebrew for me. Working wonders
That’s the way to go. Best of both worlds!
I think my first install was in 1995 or so. Moved to simpler rpm systems partly because of alpha and SPARC support. Then moved to Debian again maybe 2001 or so since my workplace servers were mostly Debian and I got used to it.
Glibc and devfs migrations were a passion, but otherwise it’s always
I’ve been a user for two or three years less. Good to see Debian doing well throughout the times.
lascapiThat’s amazing !! 🎉👏🤩
