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

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. 😁
@jlw_the_jobber @wyatt @amin @rl_dane eh just become a Debian packager and roll your own, or know someone who does, and/or still your thirst for too-new things
@mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt @amin
and/or still your thirst for too-new things
I honestly don't like the constant software treadmill.
Unfortunately, things like KDE Plasma are currently improving and evolving at a fairly rapid pace, and a semi-annual release cycle is kind of long in the tooth to enjoy the improvements.
But yeah, good point, still. ;)

SwayWM seems stable enough at this point that I rarely actually notice changes in its updates anymore. So Debian works fine.
@amin @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
True, the sway version bump between Debian 12 and 13 was barely anything.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
It did start giving me some issues with imv, though, which I think is due to sway’s end, not imv itself.
@amin @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Did you ever get imv worked out?
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Building from source fixed the segmentation faults, but it still crashes if I switch to a non-fullscreen imv window from another workspace, spitting out some error about being unable to scale properly.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
I’ve started launching my comic reading script in fullscreen by default, though, so it’s not an issue most of the time.
@amin @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Odd. Is swayimg any better?
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
It works. I don’t think it has most of the features I use imv for, though. At least not without extensive modification.
