two soyjaks superimposed on a terminal screen, pointing towards the terminal output that reads the following:
91 packages can be upgraded. Run ‘apt list --upgradable’ to see them.
N: Repository ‘http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm InRelease’ changed its ‘Version’ value from ‘12.4’ to ‘12.5’
Man, I love Debian. It’s not the sexiest distro, but it gets the job done damn well
It’s its own kind of sexy.
Debian + xfce is the best thing ever. though admittedly I use i3 on my main machine(with xfce apps).
I’m running debian Trixie with kde plasma.
Only issues that annoy me:
Two monitor setup. It often forgets my second screen and sometimes it’s moves the window out of the the still recognised one. Only a reboot fixes it.
Sound: pipewire has some issues especially with wine where there’s a sound pitch fragment that every so often makes the audio distorted.

living on the edge? how does it feel like?
As refugee from long time daily driving arch (4 years straight) i say
It’s honestly a lot smoother than people say. Things mostly work fine, and the odd breakage is never a real issue and is quickly resolved.
However, I had to install Librewolf as an AppImage, since bgstack15 was having some trouble getting the OBS to work recently.
Running sid for 5 years now. Had one major breakage where couldnt boot into DE automatically for a few days. I think it affected everyone…
Had one other minor breakage where i ignored a warning from apt-listbugs… I learned my lesson after that
So… Overall, sid has been a really good experience… Just make sure you read the listbugs warning on every update. And always double check if running full-upgrade to ensure nothing important is getting removed

Debian distros are named after Toy Story characters.
Sid is a kid who breaks all the toys.
Sid is Debian’s unstable branch :D
It’s the “unstable” rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that’s not the case with Sid.
This is why I use debian on my noobie home servers (I’m sorry Ubuntu I dont like you.) It runs my minecraft server just right. Its also why Arch is my daily work laptop. People’s whose only relation to linux is knowing me marvel at a command line update, and well anything command line.
I agree on Ubuntu Server, messed around with it a bit years ago and was impressed how easy certain things were to set up, but evaluating it in virtual to see if it would be a good fit for a server I’m building right now, it was just annoyance after annoyance while Debian, though it had less ready out of the box, just… Worked. In a sensible fashion.
I’ve been happy with it so far…
I honestly think something is wrong with the only physical server I have. Bought it for 100 bucks in a parking lot and it wipes everything when it restarts. So I should maybe give Ubuntu a little more slack who knows what else was going on in this shitbox.
back in bullseye i would wait for months with no updates, now in bookworm i get at least 2 updates in a week, every debian release just gets better
Is it the version change that I should get excited about?
TIL the boys where advertizing vegan chicken nuggets. Nice.
Will still not step inside a KFC but nice anyways.
