      they make a great effort to not break stuff with updates, or update programs in a way that changes their interface after you sudo apt update.
      I think it's exceptionally good for workstations and servers.

            They were answering the version for KDE which is 5.27.2, the KDE team is trying to convince the release team to allow them to get 5.27.5 into Bookworm which is a LTS version with lots of bugfixes.

            Not an issue for me though I just use i3 :).

            Debian guarantees a safe upgrade path to the next release (can not be said about Ubuntu :P). Extreme package stability and compatibility.

                That was indeed very pleasant to read, helped me understand the purpose of that release model and their software freezes. They really want to reduce any software changes to minimum, all in the pursuit of stability and "unchanging", perhaps even static experience, huh.
                Was that the original goal of Debian, to package Linux and a ton of relevant packages in a way that provides slower (stable) release schedule? It seems like it stems from some issue encountered from running everything at latest versions on a daily basis. Like someone got really fucking angry at breakage and decided to start a project where packages are locked to certain versions.

                Debian started mainly to address bugs in SLS (Soft Landing Linux), you can read the original document release goals here:

                Here they say “it will be kept the most up to date” :P, the existence of the release model did not come till later and the eventual integration with APT (they used to be separate projects).

              Even with these concerns KDE plasma is so special that they are likely to get updated to 5.27.5 in a stable point release update. Most devs don’t bother doing bug fix only releases and introduce new features which means regressions.

              >install arch and configure all commonly used software

              >only upgrade the next time there are a couple of major releases of mission-critical software
              Here's for your stability. Outdated trash like Debian are just a meme.

              If you spend too long not updating on Arch the next time you update everything is fucked. A Debian system can be updated at any time and it will be just fine. Your “strategy” is you coping with the fact you run a bleeding edge distro.

              It is so funny to me Archers always come and shit on Debian (likely after they tried it coming from Ubuntu and failed to configure their le hecking epic gaming rig) and always bitch and moan about Debian policies and demand they rework the entire release cycle. You don’t see Debian users shitting on Arch constantly.

              I guess many of you had a spiritual experience where PackageX is broken -> I obtain a newer version - PackageX is fixed so now you go around spreading your gospel about how “Le Debian is outdated guys!!!” Thinking you are giving new information to those who haven’t “learned” the gospel. You are not a good Linux troubleshooter because updating incidentally fixed a problem once or twice, you have the same technical and support advice as a Windows Insider telling you to /sfc scannow.

              Stay on Arch if you like bleeding edge, but please shut the fuck up.

                >Archers always come and shit on Debian
                Not that anon, but for what it's worth, I like both Debian and Arch. They're fine and interesting in their own ways.
                It's just that I'm so used to random stuff being available in AUR as pkgbuilds which integrate nicely into pacman/AUR helper. On other distros, such as Debian, I often had to either add a repo (of the software author or 3rd party) or install a .deb (built for who knows what library versions...) or clone repo and build from source and make install (and what then? where to store the cloned source? how to upgrade properly?) which all felt "dirtier" than the AUR -> pacman route where it was like a real package, just made locally. Do you encounter this often, anon? What do you do to make such out of repo software "cleanly installed"? You understand my pain, hopefully? Please skip Flatpak/Snap/AppImage if that was your answer - these are nice but not always best imo, sometimes I just want software to be managed via package manager native to the distro.
                It's slightly ironic, because I keep hearing that Debian has the largest software repositories (50k?), Arch including AUR is smaller than that, and yet the latter feels more complete, both in contents and in the smooth install process. Everything I need is a yay program-name away.

                Also I had one experience updating a year old Arch install and it went through without big issues, the only thing was GPG keys being out of date and not upgraded before other packages which were signed with those keys. I hope Debian handles such batch upgrades better, if I ever need to do so.

                Something like the AUR is against the Debian philosophy, where hopefully new packages are sanely mantained, compatible, secure, and integrate neatly into the distro, a user repo would not work with this.

                The way I handle this usually is "not in the repos? Probably dogshit anyways". Don't add 3rd party repos to Debian not in a chroot or container, they will fuck your system.

                I don't use Flatpak/Snap/AppImage. If I need software outside of Debian I often compile it myself, usually though these are one offs I don't need to keep updated. If you do need to update them you can git pull and make install again. You could store the cloned source anywhere... I like ~/Documents. You could even write a simple shell script that git pulls all your self compiled software, makes it, and installs it. (Make sure you are installing to ~/.local/ or /usr/local/)

                Nix and GUIX are also avaliable on Debian but I have never look into these solutions since I am served well by the repos. If you enjoy seeking out new software and like the AUR stay with Arch.

                My question is, what is this out of repo software you consistently need? How often do you need new software?

                Thank you, sensible.
                >what is this out of repo software you consistently need?
                Ok, on Arch desktop, for programs not in Debian repos I currently have: jellyfin-media-player, nheko-git, nomacs (why is it only in buster and sid?). On laptop I have j-m-p as well, android-studio (prebuilt), and trillium-bin. On work laptop I probably have the same as on personal laptop + azure-kubelogin, openlens-bin, a few more. On home server I have zfs-dkms and -utils and the nvidia-container-toolkit (for GPU encoding in Docker).
                I see myself migrating server to Debian later, and I know that ZFS stuff is in backports repo (ok), and the Nvidia stuff is in their additional repo (meh but at least it's not a random .run to wget and execute like it was Windows). So that case is covered fine by both Debian and Arch.
                As for desktop/laptops, well, there's quite a few programs as you can see, although I was surprised to see azure-cli being in Debian repos, for some reason I thought I'd have to install it via pip to .local or smth. That would feel weird.
                >How often do you need new software?
                I can already expect some displeasure with regards to Docker on bookworm. While I usually don't add their repo with super latest docker-ce, because 20.10 that's shipped in bullseye is fine by me, I hoped that bookworm would have the Compose v2 available in default repos (at least as part of docker.io, I think?). It is a nice feature upgrade over v1, and on Arch server I liked it. Therefore I'm torn between being stuck with v1 for 2 more years at least, or switching to Docker from Docker repo. I prefer Docker engine to be rather stable and not changing much through upgrades (it can do live-restart but it can get buggy).
                In case of new software on desktop/laptops, I get a bit of satisfaction from seeing new things added, annoyances fixed. Even on work laptop it serves the purpose of coalmine canary - I get issues earlier so I can prepare fixes/workarounds before it affects devs using Ubuntu.

                That is fair. NAYRT btw.
                For me, having to figure out what changed because of a major version update is usually a bigger annoyance than any problems the software has.
                I get a feeling of satisfaction in knowing everything is gonna work the same way for years and years until I decided to install another distro or Debian version myself.

              Uhuh, the consensus is that Arch is the quintessential Linux distro. At best you will see some Ubuntu user calling Arch "elitist" or something. Please, have you ever seen seen someone have shit not working on Arch and the response being "your stuff is too new and experimental! You should use Debian instead."

              You will not see Debian users calling Arch "spyware" due to its vulnerabilities to new bugs and security regressions. Personally I have no problem with Arch, but the constant shitting on a distro you don't even use is annoying as fuck. (Or used once and couldn't figure it out!).

      There have been studies where they make a full inventory of the packages and discover that Debian actually has newer (and more) stuff that Arch. You just need to be on the right repos; what you download by default is Debian stable.

              Depends. I had troubles with Intel NIC on 11, I225-V. Maintainers enabled its support in some minor release.
              Drivers, well, Navi 31 just didn't exist when 11 dropped, so it's best to run it on 12 or wait till it arrives in backports - which may never happen, it did here, doesn't mean it's the rule.

              Not true… many times the kernel drivers won’t support your iGPU or dGPU (assuming AMD/Intel) and you will need to backport a newer kernel. But the generic driver will usually give you at least 800x600 res and a working console to do fix it.

      Brings breaking changes to repo organization, there are now nonfree and nonfree-firmware, split up. That means, you'll end up with old AMD firmware if you update as usual.
      Usrmerge change is now in effect, so install it on 11 to not end up with half the packages and usrmerge that exited with a error.
      WAYLAND NOW WORKS, I forgot. No bugs - except the one where my system starts "sleeping" when I play with a gamepad, not touching mouse/kb for a while, not sure whom to blame.

      Or just don't upgrade. Bullseye will remain supported for quite awhile.

      Thank you, sensible.
      >what is this out of repo software you consistently need?
      Ok, on Arch desktop, for programs not in Debian repos I currently have: jellyfin-media-player, nheko-git, nomacs (why is it only in buster and sid?). On laptop I have j-m-p as well, android-studio (prebuilt), and trillium-bin. On work laptop I probably have the same as on personal laptop + azure-kubelogin, openlens-bin, a few more. On home server I have zfs-dkms and -utils and the nvidia-container-toolkit (for GPU encoding in Docker).
      I see myself migrating server to Debian later, and I know that ZFS stuff is in backports repo (ok), and the Nvidia stuff is in their additional repo (meh but at least it's not a random .run to wget and execute like it was Windows). So that case is covered fine by both Debian and Arch.
      As for desktop/laptops, well, there's quite a few programs as you can see, although I was surprised to see azure-cli being in Debian repos, for some reason I thought I'd have to install it via pip to .local or smth. That would feel weird.
      >How often do you need new software?
      I can already expect some displeasure with regards to Docker on bookworm. While I usually don't add their repo with super latest docker-ce, because 20.10 that's shipped in bullseye is fine by me, I hoped that bookworm would have the Compose v2 available in default repos (at least as part of docker.io, I think?). It is a nice feature upgrade over v1, and on Arch server I liked it. Therefore I'm torn between being stuck with v1 for 2 more years at least, or switching to Docker from Docker repo. I prefer Docker engine to be rather stable and not changing much through upgrades (it can do live-restart but it can get buggy).
      In case of new software on desktop/laptops, I get a bit of satisfaction from seeing new things added, annoyances fixed. Even on work laptop it serves the purpose of coalmine canary - I get issues earlier so I can prepare fixes/workarounds before it affects devs using Ubuntu.

      >why is it only in buster and sid?
      If a package does not comply with Debian policy it will be removed from testing. You can find these policy violations usually on the package tracker:
      https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/nomacs

      It appears it is due to unresolved security vulnerabilities.

      I use Nheko from the repos. The version in Bookworm is quite new.

      >and the Nvidia stuff is in their additional repo
      Don't use their repo. If you need newer learn to backport it yourself. The version in Bookworm is acceptable.

      I am not familiar with much of the software you described so I cannot know whats best for you. When a package is not in the repos but has a repository I will install the repo in a debootstrap chroot to isolate the dependencies. Anyone with the current Jellyfin repo enabled that updates to Bookworm will bork their system.

      Sounds to me like you could probably run Debian Unstable + some chrooted repositories on your desktop. You will get the, satisfaction of new features with some additional stability from the more aggressive Debian policies.

      Docker in Bookworm should support Compose V2 based on the documentation I read? But I am not familiar with Docker so you will need to do the research yourself.

      Debian Unstable on Desktop + Debian Stable on laptop is a pretty common for Debian users. But I don't know if it would have much more benefits over using Arch.
