linuxiac.com
Powered by Linux kernel 6.1, bringing the most up-to-date Plasma 5.27.5 desktop, Debian 12 "Bookworm" is now available. Here's what is new!

May be a repost, but I’m just trying out posting to the Linux group…

    This release seems really solid. Good timing to hit a lot of good software releases. Makes me want to finally try out Debian. I’m a big fan of ‘it just works’ experiences if possible so I might be the target audience.

    But I’m very happy with Fedora for quite a while now. I’m still amazed how stable it is even with very frequent updates as well as very current software overall. So it would just be switching for the sake of doing it and I try not to do that anymore.

      Latest kernel for fedora has rendered my system unbootable. I’m either going to reinstall fedora or hop to Debian. Such a shame, fedora has been great to me for years.

        Nvidia User? It happens to me too every so often on kernel updates. I usually just tell grub to boot the old Kernel Version for a few days until driver updates etc. come in. Then everything is back to working again with the newest kernel.

    Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.

      I quite like testing, I agree that for desktop use it’s fantastic, but stable has been a real balm when it comes to servers. I don’t need the latest bleeding-edge Apache or w/e, I need solidity.

      I expect if I were running a computer lab or something, I’d also run stable, just because in large numbers, small problems become big problems.
