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.
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
I really do want to give another shot at getting X-based WMs working with my display; if for no other reason, my lock screen setup was the most awesome thing I've ever done on Linux and it's just completely impossible to recreate with swaylock.
@amin @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt we can do that if you want, perhaps in a separate thread without @-ing anyone else though? (Can still be unlisted so they can get the fruits of our labour.)
@mirabilos @rl_dane @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Haha, not right now. I've got schoolwork. I'm talking more of a nebulous future date trying it.
@amin @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Man, I get SO MUCH DONE in those nebulous future dates. XD
....................................................................not.

Future Amin is my arch nemesis. He hates my guts.
@amin @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Then start treating him well, now!
@rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
I need to get revenge in advance for what Past Amin did to me!
Guy who's trying his best :(@amin @rl_dane @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
This is a very healthy mindset. I approve
@rl_dane @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
It helps my current mental health to stick it to the man. "The man", in this case, being my future self.
That'll teach that jerk to think he knows what's best for me to do now.
@amin @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
That sounds incredibly unhealthy and counter-productive, and I sincerely hope you're kidding.
@rl_dane @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
My tongue is in my cheek.
@jlw_the_jobber @rl_dane @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @wyatt
Excuse me while I go rinse out my eyes.
@jlw_the_jobber @amin @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @wyatt
That's... different. ;)
@rl_dane @amin @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @wyatt I typed in “cheeky boy” and that is what Giphy gave me 😅
@amin @OpenComputeDesign @mirabilos @jlw_the_jobber @wyatt
Ok, just don't bite. XD
