@wyatt ElysiaOS was toooooooo weebie for me 😂

I guess I am more of an #oldtaku

@jlw_the_jobber

Give me all the waifu and husbando stuffs. Sign me up!

@wyatt @jlw_the_jobber

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

@amin @wyatt How does one celebrate this achievement?

@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

#Debian

@rl_dane @amin @jlw_the_jobber

Compile your first Gentoo install?

@wyatt @rl_dane @amin All roads lead to gentoo 😈
@jlw_the_jobber @wyatt @rl_dane @amin And then right past it. Gentoo betrayed me many years ago and I won't return to a jilted lover again.

@dmoonfire @jlw_the_jobber @rl_dane @amin

That was me with NixOS. But I am trying at again. Not going the Home Manager route. And haven't made a flake yet.(again)

@wyatt @jlw_the_jobber @rl_dane @amin Yeah. NixOS is not for the sane of mind.

Explains why I like it.

@dmoonfire @wyatt @rl_dane @amin or y'all can be like me and head into the mountains, the Alpine mountains ;p

@jlw_the_jobber @dmoonfire @wyatt @rl_dane

Alpine and Gentoo both sound really nice to me in theory but I'm not sure I could daily drive them in practice. In any case, I'm too happy with Debian to move.

@rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @amin @dmoonfire @wyatt

You should try it for a couple of months. It’s definitely a learning experience.

@alatartheblue @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @dmoonfire @wyatt

Maybe after I graduate this December. I don't wanna mess up my computer this close to the finish line.

@amin @alatartheblue @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @dmoonfire

Haha you said the same thing during the spring leading up to summer break. But use what software you want! I just think once you get past the hard part of Gentoo, (installation and navigating USE flag issues/troubling update) you'll be fine and actually like it.

@wyatt @alatartheblue @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @dmoonfire

And during the summer, I went from Debian 12 to 13, with plenty of time to work around breakages. :)
