25 days until I've been on Debian for two years.

@jlw_the_jobber @wyatt

I have no clue, my previous record was one year. Anyone have any ideas?

@rl_dane maybe?

@amin @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt

Well, it's something like:

• you install Debian when it's had a recent release (like now)
• you install all the packages you need
• for packages you need to have more-up-to-date, you install flatpaks
• you gather the few packages that you need to compile, and compile them,

and then, you just... enjoy the stability. XD

Personal preference, of course.

Would I prefer native .debs for everything under the sun? Yes, if Debian went to a yearly release. 😁

Eh, I just build from source if I need something newer. But I use so few graphical applications anyway… I think the only two application menu entries that get used are Signal, Lutris, and Calibre. (Qutebrowser I launch via a keyboard shortcut.)

@amin @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt on a Debian system, even if I build from source I generally do it as Debian source package.

(Same for BSD and ports/pkgsrc, really. Makes it easier to uninstall, upgrade, etc.)

Very few exceptions, like the one-file arc4chkr USB stick (and other media) tester and overwriter.
