Just showing off my desktop. For those curious, I use the XFCE desktop, and ULauncher tied to the windows key. I’m also experimenting with animated wallpapers using hidimari.

    I used to not care about the older software on Stable. Stable+backports was perfect for me. Now with flatpaks and appimages it’s even better. On one machine I went through 3 major release updates with debian stable with 0 problems. It’s nice having a system that basically can’t break.

    I tried out Sid and for more than a year now I haven’t had any issues. It is nice having newer software tbf.

      More or less the same here, though I never switched to sid for longer than a few months. Flatpak chosen specifically on software I want a new feature on has made stable without backports plenty for me. After all, why care if all the software is newer, if I’ll only use the extra stuff on three or four packages? Older software (usually) runs faster on slower machines anyway, and sense the laptop referenced with the prior neofetch is the fastest machine in my household, that is an important factor.

        yeah I agree with all of that. It’s also really remarkable how stable Debian is

        If you have older hardware and want to try something new check out netbsd!
