Debian Linux – Day 60 | The End

1. Debian is way too stable they should get someone at microsoft to work on it LOL

2. I am keeping a Debian stable machine working as a desktop for my mother – 79y old now. This system has been updated and upgraded for about 20 years now.
   None of the original hardware is still on it, even the box, and the fan, but it is the same thing living for 20 years.

   And to top it – I have done all these apt update, upgrade, dist-upgrade mostly remotely via ssh, most of the times few hundred km away, few times while located on another continent…

   And I am not some crazy linux master. I am quite a normal R&D engineer.

   That's how stable and bullet-proof Debian is…!!!

3. Must be lonely as you are the only unstable part of your ststem 😆
   BTW, Did you try the new Debian version of Mint? I'd like to see you review it.

4. When your interest in experimentation lies elsewhere and you need a stable OS to be one of your reliable tools, consider Debian.

5. If you want to deal with daily breakage, try Manjaro 😂

6. I LOVE DEBIAN ! DOESN'T BREAK ! tired of having Arch/Ubuntu/Ubuntu-based breaking!

7. This is me…Stable sucks..!!

8. Were you able to "upgrade" to SID? If so I would be interested in your take on it

9. Hahahaha!

10. No hate but ill never understand people who switch because a distro is too stable. Isn't that what a distro is for? Its meant to be a platform where you can do whatever you want to do.

11. Install debian unstable it gets updated every 6h

12. KDE on Debian is great! Chris you are so right. I love the stability. I am testing KDE FreeBSD on the other half of this dual boot and it does not compare.

13. After spending much time with debian i just want to go back to ubuntu and its daily issues. Debian is boring as hell.

14. When your distro is so extremely stable, you become emotionally unstable lmao

15. IF you wana break debian make a frakendebian add ppas to debian add the ubuntu repos

16. Actually, Debian became so mysterious if you have a Nvidia GPU.
    You can boot to Xorg.
    Of coz, you can solve all of the problem.

17. I used daily sid on my personal workstations in the latest twenty years with rare glitches from time to time. It is perfectly fine if you install apt-listchanges and apt-listbugs to manage properly upgrades on daily base just to avoid to be triggered by known RC bugs. Usually I find sid much more stable than testing which can miss for weeks some new features due to main migrations. Disclaimer: I'm a Debian Developer, but what I say is even the normal user experience.

18. Chris: Debian Linux – Day 60 | The End
    Me: Debian Linux – Day 360 | Long Live Debian !!!!!!!!!!

19. THIS DAMM THING KEEPS BREAKING…. I freaking hate buster….

20. I only use Linux I have used Debian since Woody and have never had my system crash. Stable may not be bleeding edge but it works and works well. Stable and secure. If you need updated packages that is what Debian back-ports are for. I had testing on a laptop for a year and that ran well too. Look at the choices for desktop environments and window managers and architecture look in synaptic it has everything you need.

21. Funny that more people don't recommend it for beginners. I've dabbled in Linux before, but I decided to go with Debian for my first true daily driver distro. Thanks for confirming that I made the right choice! For years and years I bitched about Microsoft trying to wow me with flashy features, "I just want it to work well. Just be an operating system that my apps can run on." Thank you, Debian!

22. Debian rulz.And yes is so boring that some times i switch between gnome and kde. xD

23. Well, it was almost a year ago, but what I would challenge you to do is to install your beloved Bedrock on top of it and stick with this system for a while adding more and more packages from other distros. I guess nothing can survive this.

24. I run debian unstable and still I have bearly any issues

25. Q40S broke, Manjaro broke after updates and even Ubuntu 18.04 LTS froze. The Linux distro that survived the longest on my PC was Zorin OS.

26. That's why they use debian on space stationon

27. Disagree, I'm using Debian stable in my machine, and there are a lot of things that don't work properly, even installing exclusively from Debian official reps. Well… Not A LOT, but yes, there are things that don't work

28. Watching this make me want to install Debian as the base of my system and try to mess it up. I usually mess up my laptop badly by accident. I have heard that Debian is stable, but I don’t know that it would be that stable — never imagine any os would be that stable. My record are break windows within 4 months (roughly estimate time) unintentional, Arcolinux and ArcolinuxD within about 2 months unintentional.

    I tried Mint, Feren, Centos around some shorter period of time because I don’t like them very much so I did not use them very long.

29. Debian seems Tare

    I have just finished fixing my grub yesterday. Dual boot with Windows 10 + linux newbie + ArcolinuxD (Arch based distro) + inexperience + very impatience to read through the wiki so I skimmed only the part I thought I need => corrupted system => more than one re-install distros (Mint and Feren) in that partition => broken grub

    After all of the above, I think I need a more stable distro.

30. Ok.

31. do one year on red star os

32. You want a broken Debian? Go working for Canonical.

33. I use Debian since 17 year. It's really great!

34. So I'm assuming, to this day, you haven't broken a single thing on Sid?
    I guess Debian Unstable is really stable.

35. Hello, so what? What's up with SID? I did that years ago… (I think we all 😉 ) But it was too annoying then. 😛 Meanwhile, I enjoy the "boredom" of Debian 😀 … and if I want to tinker I go to my Gentoo PC 😉

36. Debian Unstable is going to very "stable" (very few package changes) at the moment because Buster is getting prepped for release. Give it another month or two and Debian Unstable might be exciting again 😉 I actually switched back to Ubuntu from Debian just so I can use the latest version of GNOME, but I really miss Debian just because of how well it works (I have to reconfigure Ubuntu to be more like my old Debian installation–no snaps, set up Flatpak, etc.).

37. Heh, yeah. I started with Debian, then after hearing you rave about arch so much, I gave that a try for about a month and was like "Eeek!!" Went running back to Debian, and yeah. For some reason it's crazy stable, even on pentest distros. Kali and Parrot – Oh meh gaaawd.. the best. Of course my home machine is running Mint, cuz that's how I roll. 😉

38. If you looking for another linux distro you could look at pop os https://system76.com/pop

39. Nooooooooo!!!😮

    Actually, testing is now going to be stable, as it will released soon. Wait until after this stable been released. Then havock will be onto you.

    At least in a Debian way type of havock. 😜

    Sid is the most Rolling distribution you get with Debian.
    Testing is a mirror of Sid, except when it start to freeze for next Stable.

    And I remember the last time I hade to boot Debian Sid into singel user mode to repair it. It was a break in X11 and it was back in, 2005:ish… Actually, I don't remember when, just what… Sort of. 😜

40. Did you try "sudo rm -rf /" that ought to break something 😉

41. I've been using Sid for about a decade as my main OS. It's not that crazy. Might even grow boring too unless you're "lucky".

42. Opensuse tumbleweed xfce is avaible from 10 april…war is over !

43. I will develop my work with debian .

44. Debian is really great and I love it!

45. I have to be honest, I didn't encounter your channel before, and I just clicked because I'm getting into linux stuff and am really interested in getting debian on my computer soon (I have used ubuntu already and raspbian but I'm looking for a long-term linux install to repurpose my old laptop).

    When seeing the title I first thought it was the end of debian, and as I don't follow linux news a lot I was surprised so I clicked. And I don't regret clicking now.

    I really love how you are so disappointed by the sheer stability of Debian, and turn this video into something sad. As a long time windows user trying to get to the dark side, you can't imagine how hard I was laughing through all the video while you're saying things like "It's not even funny, I mean it works, it won't break, and if sometimes I make it break I just revert some changes and it goes back to normal." in a sad voice. Of course I'm a tinkerer and I like to explore the depths of things, and that's why I'm getting interested in Linux, but to see that you can make a mistake and it will forgive you, this is like heaven for a newbie like me. This video really made my day, and I'm definitely going to go for Debian now. Thank you for the laugh, and for the information !

46. Hahahaa..
    Debian: being stable is a problem now?!😛

47. I've been using sid for over a decade, and it breaks about once a year these days. If you really want to try your luck, you gotta go even further: to experimental.
