There&#x27;s a sizable maybe ~1% of my home computing ops spent juggling apt updates.<p>It&#x27;s really cool &amp; exciting seeing what&#x27;s coming. Jak&#x27;s updates here have been wonderfully technical &amp; specific. This all looks like it&#x27;s going to get so much better!

This reminds me, we should have a class action lawsuit against Debian and Debian-family organizations for incorrectly using the word:<p>Stable<p>Stable: &quot;firmly fixed&quot;<p>Stable when you use debian-family: &quot;Bug ridden, outdated, but hey, at least the bugs are consistent!&quot;<p>Now I understand if you are hosting a server, or doing some linux OS dev, Canonical picking Debian as their fork distribution makes sense. Its wayyy easier to copypaste something that rarely changes.<p>However, I see people recommending Debian-family for desktop in 2024 and its only causing people to go back to Windows. I don&#x27;t think its malicious, I think its just people repeating Canonicals 2006 marketing.
