This makes Debian look kinda good actually...
What's wrong with having a some year old software? Does it do what you need? Yes. Then what? I have all I need on Debian. Why should I care of new updates. Security? Yes we have Debian security because of that. Look, y'all had the xyz backdoor package in your systems because it was new. Me as a Debian stable user I didn't have to deal with it. Did I lose something by not having the latests software? No. Well maybe less crashes.
Most privative software also gets weekly updates. Does it make it better? No. You may prefer that.
Also I don't get the point about the version numbering of Debian packages. Every team uses the versioning they want.
From my experience software that updates a lot tends to break old features a lot too.
Debian suporting freesoftware projects or other stuff doesn't look as a relevant argument. I mean if you prefer using privative stuff and using that kind of software. Do whatever you like with your Google/Facebook/Apple friends.
But don't come intoxicate the community with this bullshit.
Because then people file bug reports for ages old software. Ancient does not equal stable!
Does it do what you need?
No
Cool, get something else, then.
Mentoning Iceweasel in 2024?! Where did you find this meme?! Debian stable?!
debian nightly release
We don't talk about what happens in the night.
I have never had a good experience with a Debian server. Every single time I had to add unstable or third party repos to get anything remotely current to run. What's the point if you have to add unstable shit anyway?
That sounds like a skill issue.
It makes a great headless server
Debian gives you a choice though. If you want stability, install the stable release. If you want newer packages, install the testing release. Just be sure to get security updates from unstable (sid) if you do that.
"stable" in this context means that stuff doesn't change often. It doesn't mean "stable" as in reliable / never crashes, although Debian is good at that too.
The packages in Debian are really old. It's awful.
I was looking at my xzutils package the other month. "So outdated," I thought, envying the cool hip trendy Arch users.
Yeah, I had to bail. FreeBSD was awesome for stable yet bleeding-edge packages, a perfect blend of downloading binaries and compiling from source (when needed) with everything in sync.
These days I’m using Alpine Linux almost exclusively, but I miss the convenience of FreeBSD and wish it wasn’t being left behind by the Kool Kidz™.

SOFTWARE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE STABLE
Someone with a case of brain rot.
Ah, I see you've met the product owner.
Me, because I cannot understand how people can miss the facetiousness of this meme template with such confidence
🪦
When even the skull is more alive
YEARS OF BACKPORTS yet NO REAL WORLD USE FOUND for staying more than ONE VERSION behind
I have a really old computer that still gets the job done, and just getting up to Bullseye broke it a bit.
I know, I know, it's just a meme.
