I have been using unstable on desktop for at least 15 years. Every time a new stable was released that would cause a month of just staying off updates till things stabilized. Recently it’s not even had that issue.
I’ve had to pin a package or two in that time, but unstable has been rock solid otherwise. I even run it on my server.
The front fell off?
MS DOS v4.somthing. (1995)
Slackware that came on three 5.25" floppies. (1997)
First hard drive Linux: Debian.
Eventually red hat for several years, then back to Debian based (mint etc) around 2005. Been using Sid (Debian “unstable”) for a long time.
There are no Linux gatekeepers. There are assholes everywhere, that’s the human condition. I came across these assholes and I learnt that I should take advice and consider it myself.
If you close your brain and listen to random online people without thought, you’ll have a bad time, Linux or no Linux.
This stereotype of people in Linux or open source as assholes is FUD spread by people who have a vested interest in spreading it.
I’ve found people mostly very helpful and courteous.
Everyone who thinks they are in the bottom right, is in the bottom left.
Existing established open source projects? Basically never.
My own piles of shit with open source licenses? All the time.
Shit like this made me dump Mint more than a decade ago. I’ve been very happy with Debian (Sid).
Last frame needs to be dead Sean Bean. He needs to die in the memes too.
I never figured out why, but I couldn’t get any version of suse to work properly on my computers. I’ve been with Debian (sid) for about a decade now, so not the most up to date criticism here.
My guess is dragons breath is produced by a combination of two glands that produce chemicals that are hypergolic. This is seen in nature in bombardier beetles (which use hydroquinone + hydrogen peroxide).
The smell would certainly depend on the combination of chemicals, but a hot burnt and charred smells are probably common to all possibilities. The unburnt chemicals are likely to be irritants, being either strong oxidizers or reducers.
Overall, even after the main blaze has cooled, I would expect the area (and downwind) to be unsafe for humans and respiratory issues for those exposed to the remnants.
No, no, see… They bought Indian oil from India. You know India, known for their oil reserves. Totally not Russian I tell you.
Seamless sleep on close and wake up on open. Macs still does it best, but Linux it’s an adventure each time.
Don’t worry, the rot will come there too, but all companies develop “mobile first” these days.
Is it better to eat fast and die happy or hate your long existence?
Billions don’t go through as many hospitals as they used to.
I would recommend any of the open source apps, my personal recommendation is Eternity.

Skinner meme:
Should I learn to budget my money?
No, it’s earning money that’s wrong.
Lawful neutral, moving to chaotic neutral when I get down to a few slices.
I’m 40+ and still love spinners :)
