I will write "that are valuable to the discussion" next time. Of course I value stability, the Amazon fiasco was 5 years ago. I just wanted an open ended discussion.
I realized after posting it was actually longer than I thought, too. Debian is great, some installs I even run Sid without issues, but I am pretty diligent about update notices.
It wasn't just the .gitignore to be honest, just a set of "rules" I have on a script I use to analyze repos (I may publish it eventually, although it would quickly become worthless plus it's used at work to vet dependencies) and then just manual review of commits.
You probably couldn't boycott everything made with LLMs even if you went back to slackware. Firefox devs use it too (and for the love of god, no one attack the dev for it).
I don't like it, consider it a liability, mentioned it to those who might care. I do appreciate your post nonetheless, not my cup of tea as an environment but I still liked the post.
Does no one read man pages anymore? This is not a personal attack but I am baffled people don't set up bash completion correctly and then can't "discover flags" (or just read the manual).
I would not want tar that automatically "does what it thinks I want" useful… am l out of touch or the kids being wrong
I recommended bazzite to a newcomer. It went as poorly as you'd expect due to immutability being largely nonsense unless it’s handled like NixOS.
