Both comments are correct.

What desktop environment are you using?

It was a while ago that I compared them so this may have changed, but one of the main differences that I saw was that borg had to backup over ssh, while restic had a storage backend for many different storage methods and APIs.

I’ve been using it for just over 6 months and it’s perfectly fine as a desktop distribution. I’m enjoying that it’s based on Debian Sid and I get a more up to date GNOME release than I would have with Ubuntu or Debian. The update process is a bit slow but you can just leave it downloading in the background and then reboot when it’s ready. If you know that you want an immutable desktop distro based on Debian then I would definitely recommend it.

If you’re using it for development then it’s a bit more complicated as you’ll need to get used to working in a distrobox container and understanding when it can and can’t access the host system or communicate with programs running on the host system.

If you have the time and basic understanding to be able to switch your dev workflow to run inside a container, or if your dev environment never needs to interact with the base system that you’re running it on, then it’s perfectly usable for dev work - just a bit of a learning curve.

The touch screen in my 2013 laptop has been working fine since… 2013, running only Debian and Debian-derivatives.

Maybe im wrong

Correct.

Some similarities but the main difference in my eyes is that Linus doesn’t have a permanent victim complex.

Unsurprising. You don’t have to follow Hector Martin on social media for very long to learn that he’s a petulant, indignant, self-righteous drama queen.

Instead of making a unilateral decision on behalf of all of the members of this community without any kind of consultation, why don’t you move to L.W and allow people who do want to be here, who do want to be subject to the moderation rules of this instance, to step in and take the reins?

I say unlock the community and appoint a new mod team. Who said you could just close the whole community, just because you’ve volunteered to take out the trash?

We used to call it flamebait and it has existed for decades.

For the most part, large open source projects are worked on by adults not children.

The article seems like a rebuttal to a strawman argument to me.

You’d have to be pretty oblivious (or a non-software engineer) to express the premise of this article as an opinion.

The only interesting part to me was asking specifically what types of functionality are being delegated to libraries instead of (re-)implemented in the program itself. The author should ask this same question of some Rust and Javascript programs of similar size, so we can see if left-pad in Javascript is just a meme or if programmers armed with convenient package managers are delegating trivial one-liners to external libraries.

I too have terminally online syndrome and read “contěnt” as “cǒntent”
