Also watch out for surprise file deletes in /tmp and /var/tmp at 10 and 30 days. This too can be turned off.
Isn't this the feature of /tmp? I set my default download location in Firefox to /tmp exactly for this reason, so that all the junk gets automatically removed after some time. Also, whenever I need a temporary Python script or test a package, I create a venv under /tmp.
It is done by a systemd timer unit

I've tried making snap packages, but I discovered they're very tightly tied to Ubuntu's base packages. They're not portable at all. In essence they're effectively just a secondary Ubuntu-specific package format for user-level applications. For example, with flatpak you select a base runtime for your package that contains mostly system-agnostic libraries. With snap, you specify an Ubuntu version as a base runtime and…
My understanding is that the base layer (similar to what FlatPak provides) is shared and downloaded by the snap manager so it is portable as long as you want to download it. The end result should be similar to FlatPak where you have practically no dependencies as it should package almost everything.
See, that's the issue. I want my distribution to distribute the dependencies I need to run applications outside of containers. That's, like, it's main job man.

#425TL;DR:
Big fat warning to everyone, who's using X11 session on Debian (especially, laptop users):
DO NOT UPDATE.
Issues I experiencing right now *AFTER* migration Debian 12 -> 13 on X11: 1. kwin_x11, kscreenlocker_greet, Xorg and ksmserver are eating CPU as hell after screen is locked: known issues in KDE6/QT6, affected versions Qt 6.8, 6.9 and 6.10, fixed in Qt 6.9.2 and 6.10.0. Guess which version of Qt is used in Debian 13. 2. "Disks & Devices" applet is reporting wrong disk state (mounted/unmounted) when disk have Device Auto-Mount enabled "On Attach". 3. Track-point device, touch-pad and Bluetooth mouse now is treated as a single device without a way of separating settings for them. Yep, touch-pad settings tab says "No touchpad found". Right now I basically need either agree with changed way of navigation in CAD and browsers with my mouse, or forget about using scroll with my track-pad, or switch the "Press middle button and move mouse to scroll" on every occasion of switching input device.
And all of these I found in just two days of using this release. I need to stress the fact that before the update, when it was Debian 12 and KDE5 it was working smoothly, as expected and with all settings accessible from UI. Now, to fix all of this, I need to crawl configs, add scripts, workarounds and so on. It looks like Debian updates now needs to be ignored the same way as it happening with Ubuntu (3+ month), MacOS (5+ month) or Windows (don't).

Debian IS more cautious with dependencies, in that you won't get hidden dependencies that aren't in the repos. I don't want to install an app that downloads and executes 500 node packages that I don't know what they do. Those packages should already be vetted and in Debian. If not, then I'm not interested. Side stepping the distro repos for dependencies for software in the repos leads to unexpected behavior.
> Debian IS more cautious with dependencies, in that you won't get hidden dependencies that aren't in the repos. For a definition of cautious I don't personally share. Debian doesn't vet packages. Debian maintainers are less competent than the "upstream" they question approximately all the time, which is why they keep breaking stuff in more or less severe way (OpenSLL anyone?). And let's not even talk about the insan…
Eventually, someone must take source code and build and package the software.
When it's Debian maintainers, one at least knows the rules they are operating by. For random people on the internet, it's usually more difficult to evaluate, vet them, and trust what they are doing.
Of course, I don't know you personally nor any software package that you are releasing so this is not an observation directed to you.

I too had no idea what he’s talking about, so I did some digging. So, an open-source contributor who works for Canonical on Ubuntu gave a talk at Debconf. He is a convicted and admitted sexual predator who served time in prison for his crimes. This all is pretty well-documented. But… then what? He did the time for his crimes. He’s on the national sex offender registry. What now? Should he be unemployable? Should his…
If you just want to quietly make software then nobody cares what you are, but when you decide to function as a political activist group and demand compliance with your personal morals, then the personal morals of your organization members becomes fair game.
After she reported her brother’s abuse to police in 2010, naval investigators questioned Jeremy, who was stationed overseas. He admitted everything.
In a statement to naval lawyers, Jeremy detailed the abuse of his sisters and admitted to inappropriately touching his third sister and two other non-family members when he was a teenager.
