    You are right: you didn't refuse, you are cheating (especially people who don't understand nuances) You provided a content of a deb package that is intentionally malicious. It is l…

    I asked you to be very specific. And you refused. You are criticizing "apt" for "specific architectural issues" but it is still very, very vague. Once again - be specific please. C…

    Sounds similar to my experience with other systems (like Red Hat). Amazing - you've just realised that IT systems don't always work. Welcome to IT world !

    What do you mean by "poison" ? Be specific. Very specific.

    Why do you think Debian for servers only ? Did you use Debian SID or Testing as a desktop ?

    I have used in my life many different Linux distributions: Slackware, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian (professionally or privately). My private choice is the only one not driven by marketi…

    The same question applies to any other distribution (Fedora, Arch, etc): who tests them ?

    Canonical doesn't have capacity to change over 60000 packages prepared by Debian community.

    You are talking about Debian stable which is released approximately once in 2 years. People who want to have more (most ?) recent software on Debian should go for Debian Testing. O…

    Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid which is considered as the least stable release in Debian community.

    The "testing" name is one of the worst decision of Debian community IMHO. It misleads people.

    This is how the flow happens: [upstream] -> [Debian Sid] -> [Debian Testing] -> [Debian stable] The testing happens in Debian Sid.

    It looks like you have never used Debian testing (or used it 10 years ago ?). The testing phase is in Debian Sid and _not_ in Debian testing.

    Ubuntu is optimised for corporations, as this is the main source of income for Canonical. Try Debian _testing_.

    Even better is Debian testing :-)

    Comment #46463620

    Because you used Debian stable (which is mostly for servers). Try Debian Testing. And don't get fooled by its name "testing" - it is because Debian community reserved "stable" for …

    Comment #46463603

    You are comparing Fedora with Debian stable. Everyone who wants to have Debian stability (and ecosystem) with the most new upstream software should go for Debian Testing (and don't…

    How do you organise them across many windows ? I found it difficult to categorize them by topic (i.e. one window with topic X, another window by topic Y and so on)

    How do you know that Xi is not criminal ? His decisions "affected" (read: killed or thrown in jail) thousands or tens of thousands people (more ?).

    The danger with TikTok is that some already used it to influence elections (recently in Romania) so it is proven to be working.

    You cannot. But in US you have elections every 4 years wheres in Russia or China both Putin and Xi are "elected" for their lifetime. Does it tell you anything ?

    What about banking apps ? Do they work correctly ? Do they complain that you don't have genuine phone ?
