Debian is 30 years old for a reason.
Debian is 30 years old for a reason.
This is the answer.
I liked Ubuntu prior to snap. I’ve gone back to Debian and aside from a slightly complex install, I think that the distro is the epitome of stability and “just works”, especially for the normal software stuff I do. It’s 30 years old for a reason.
My experiences with arch are that it just broke if you looked at it funny and I like stuff that doesn’t require the constant tinkering. This is the same reason I don’t do smart tech and still own dumb and mechanical watches.
I feel like I’m in the minority in this community lately.
And honestly, nano as the default makes sense, it’s lightweight and gets the job done. I still have that as my default.
Honestly, most of the defaults are good enough for me. I just run vi and it does the job well enough. If I need to configure a good dev environment, I’ll just install stuff with apt-get install and mangle stuff onto my PATH.
Debian, because I can just have a computer without needing to fiddle with a million things. I work in tech and don’t want to mess with any more code or configurations if I’m on my own computer. It’s worked for me for 5 years and has worked for others for 30 years.
Test driven development has really helped me understand bugs and functional changes well. Doing a red green change has done wonders for me over the years.
What’s with everyone recommending a different distro instead of trying to help the user in the thread?
Color me confused, but what’s wrong with stock Debian?
Aside from Montana, the remaining 49 are “at will” employment states. You can be fired for any reason at any time, aside from if your employment is terminated for being part of a protected class, regardless of if you are a contractor or not. There are some jobs that have more protections, like union jobs (yay unions). There are also some employment agreements that are not at will if I believe too.
You can also leave your job at any time for any reason in an at will state.
I went from GUI to terminal and I’ll never go back. Especially with interactive add,
git add -i
