  • I think if that were true, they’d be less succeptible to Nazi propaganda and wouldn’t have voted for the MAGA ticket in droves. They also would’ve taught their kids not to support what their grandparents literally fought and died against in the war…

    Unless you mean civil war history with a particular slant. Certain boomers definitely “studied” that history.



  • Not just with their web hosting. I’ve had so many updates break random crap it’s not even funny. Recently, a random update I did not approve suddenly had kwallet not working. A core piece of a DE they provide a bundled version for. I had to start kwalletd myself every time I wanted to use it.

    It didn’t start that way on the fresh install. I didn’t do anything myself except reboot. Then suddenly my scripts that nab from the keystore are failing and asking me for passwords and what a mess.

    That’s just a more recent example. I remember having quite a few random issues on update in the past, though the only other one I explicitly remember is the DE suddenly failing to start. Like, at all. Luckily I had a recent timeshift backup saved elsewhere, restored, and ignored the update notifications for a long while…


  • If you want Debian plus some nice tools, I’d recommend MX Linux. It’s based on Debian stable and mosrly just has a few convenient extras. Like installing nvidia drivers with one click, or being able to create a bootable ISO of your exact system. It has a few other neat tools, too.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if you could just nab those tools ad hoc as desired for normal Debian, though.
