Some mix of wrong and right, the exact proportions of which I’ll leave as an exercise to the reader.

I got a feeling that the kind of people that use Rocky or Alma linux would have a heart attack dealing with snap on ubuntu. Maybe they’re better off switching to Debian LTS instead.

As an inexperienced user, I can tell you that Debian is way harder to use than most people think. Out of the box, the distro is pretty bare ones. I’m having a blast using an Arch based distro, but on Debian I had to do everything manually. Stable is freaking old and unstable has lots of limitations, Docker for example is a true pain.

Ubuntu, Mint, Zorin, POP OS, are way better than Debian for users like me.

Red hat users would feel right at home, right?

A lot of people (incorrectly) equate “stable” with “bug-free”. So conversely, having bugs would be “unstable”.

Pretty sure the whole statement is

Stable is freaking old, and unstable has lots of limitations

I don’t think they’re saying Debian LTS is unstable.

I think he meant: Stable is freaking old. Unstable has a lot of limitations.

RHEL costs $600 a year. Its users can cope with debian easily.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Rules

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
