How production-ready is it? I plan to make my first step into immutable distros with Fedora Silverblue in the near future.

Speak for yourself; for me everything is a path now ^^

or just mainboard.

The almost zero time invest for security updates on Debian is the main reason why I switched back to it from Gentoo. While Gentoo has stable package versions it is still rolling and I have to invest time with etc-update from time to time.

On the other hand, it was easier to get other package versions outside the repo into Gentoo without using flatpak; especially very old versions.

I like flatpak, too, but I only use it for less mature apps, I want to try and have a rapid relaese cycle I don't want to miss. Btw, on Gentoo I needed flatpak as well sometimes, especially for Qt applications; because I did not want to compile stuff I rarely use.

So yes, I find that Debian stable is very stable.

I will try out Fedora Silverblue on a seperate machine, anyway. But my main productive computer remains on Debian stable. [=

or billions of redirects. I am looking at you, SAP.

I wonder what must happen to roll out more Linux in the public sector. There is still software required by scientist of various professions that need a tool only available for Windows. Installing a VM is not an option; too complicated for the average user.

And there is Windows software not compatible with Windows 11. Here is a small chance to use wine, but will the setup be practical and installable by the users themselves? I doubt it and it will put more work on the admins.

I hope at least, that Linux maintenance will be smoother despite the need for compatibility for older Windows software in the future.

Both can be very rude to people around them (from what is visible in public). I wouldn't want either of them as my boss. Apart from that, both have their ways to entertain; I don't mean by displaying bad behaviour to people; that is no entertainment I enjoy.

this is ls -shit. ^^

The article has a typo; you won't find CVE-2026-53111 for Linux, but you will find CVE-2026-23111, which is already fixed if you do not postpone updates more than a month.

Like clothes without real pockets?

same, there is only one reason to get Ubuntu over Debian, if you have a Nvidia gpu, they make it easy to just work.

But, if you don't need cuda, I recommend an AMD gpu and stick with Debian or Fedora. It is trouble free.

PS: I will try immutable distros some day, pinky promise ^^

To me, they are just indicators of how much content I can expect. I scroll with the mouse wheel or using the page down/up keys. I don't grab the thing. I only need to see the indicator when I am scrolling.

But I wonder whether there is a accesibility aspect to always visible and wide scrollbars. I think, the best way to deal with it, is to make it an option how they look and behave.

I game on Debian; it is absolutely up to the task.

It is called the universal operating system for a reason.

Or it is about the friends you loose after you have successfully installed Gentoo and now maintaining it.

Fun aside: I used Gentoo for more than a decade (15 years?, idk). Since I am back on Debian stable, I don't feel like I am missing out on stuff I want to try, because I don't have to wait or solve useflag issues anymore. I still think, Gentoo is a solid distro, but I have other hobbies, too. If it were my sole job to maintain a Gentoo system I would do it. But I don't want to deal with it anymore in my spare time.

Also in the fineprint: Imagine you could do a planetary broadcast through a "data link" in 2024. Do they mean TikTok or Instagram?

Why CamelCase? /o\

I think the Flatpak runtime is the real king here. It is easy to install and sandboxes your closed source games.

Regarding 2: That is actually part of my job. 95% Windows, the rest is MacOS and maybe 3 to 5 Linux users (myself excluded).

Who has to work until 17:00 on a Friday except shift workers?

Please don't be angry with me, but the package manager is called portage; emerge is just one commandline tool to interact with it.
