I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

    There’s no reason. I switched to Debian after leaving Slackware around the reiser4 time. It’s real good.

      Yeah it seems to work very well on my server. I’ve always just wondered why I don’t see more people recommending it when they’re switching from Ubuntu/Kubuntu. From what I’ve seen on the server (which I mostly access remotely), it seems decent.

        It’s not cool. It means you have gray hairs. The packages are old by default.

        @limelight79 @gayhitler420 my only real nitpick with debian is that the package updates are too slow for my personal taste. for other people, maybe its perfect, but i think ubuntu has just a bit more bleeding edge without being unstable.
        my 2 cents
        ymmv

          Hmm interesting point, thanks. That’s the sort of thing I might not have noticed since I don’t use it on an interactive system like my desktop.
