I with they would align LMDE with regular Mint in one aspect though, that there would be an out of the box btrfs layout that matches what Timeshift expects (iirc @ and @home?) which is different from how debian and therefore LMDE sets it up automagically. Maybe this has changed in recent years.
I really liked Ubuntu back when the color scheme was more brown/orange, it seemed so friendly. The last ten years I've been on Debian though, but LMDE seems interesting.
The words stable and reliable should have formal definitions.
It certainly seems like public opinion changed the tast ten years or so. As an ubuntu user, could you confirm or deny these claims I've seen? One is that firefox is a snap even if you try to install it with apt. Another is that they show ads to get paid ubuntu in the terminal output?
I looked for it on openbsd, but then realized I can just open the source and put the openbsd relevant parts in a script without all the unnecessary parts.
How about these words: "Reflections on Trusting Trust".
This is a feature to me. I can fix issues and document workarounds, knowing that once it works it will probably continue to work until next release. With rolling or faster moving distros, every day is "I wonder if anything will break today with an update."
Wouldn't it be better to use backports? Testing doesn't always get security updates if a package is problematic and can't migrate from sid for a while.
I think the problem here is the motivation. The techies are scratching their itches because they can, making more tiling wms and such, but few are motivated to work on things they aren't personally interested in, such as user-friendliness etc. So it's either up to us techies to work on systems we don't use ourselves, or it won't happen.
Ok, let's hereby declare that Debian + Gnome is the official Linux. Everyone who wants Linux to have more users must run Debian and Gnome. First, how do we convince everyone to not use their favorite distros?
Man walks down the street wearing that, you know he's not afraid of anything.
Turns out a misaligned mirror made the laser hit the lens in a weird way, and then bouncing off something on the way out to produce this double line. Probably. What kind of strange troubleshooting have you done and what was the reason/fix?
I made this during a time I felt very lonely. Now I don't feel lonely anymore, I feel great (for reasons unrelated to crafting, but still).

The Will to Change by bell hooks is the one book that made me feel seen as a person. Usually I open a feminist book with the suspicion that the author will be like "all men are evil" and that usually makes me care less about feminism for a while. But that book was a pleasant surprise, it spoke to me and not at me.
