Whats your excuse /g/?
I don't want to.
>>54390347
Why? No distros has more official packages than Debian.
>inb4 MUH AUR
>MUH PPA
Arch werks better. Plus no "teztjng" label on muh distro :^)
I uses opensuse tubleweed

>>54390333
But I am using Debian testing.

>>54390333
aur and a decent package manager
I don't enjoy being a guinea pig
Because Debian stable just werks.
>>54390394
>arch works better
>an unstable distro is better
Archfags are so delusional
because apt is shit
Because I actually want to get shit done
>>54390584
uncropped where?
>>54390333
But I do
>>54390333
I like the stability and security of Jessie
Why the fuck am I using linux?
I don't want to rice so I can screenfetch desktop threads, I have work to do
>>54390701
That is why you should be using Debian, instead of meme distro like Arch.
>>54390591
if you used it you'd know it's not unstable, I broke debian distros more than arch.
>>54390701
>work
Like shitposting on 4chan? Normal people work on work computers. You will learn this once you get your first job.
>>54390333
I already did at some point. Don't worry you will grow out of testing too once you graduate from being lunix newfriend.
>>54390746
Pfft, I study comp sci, I'll never get a job

So the repos aren't years but only months old? Brilliant
>>54390843
Whats the difference with LMDE 2 and Debian with Cinnamon installed?
>>54390859
One is green, the other is not.
>>54390859
is like Debian, but it's not. So yeah.
someone post their debian desktop

Shitty third party packages for Ubuntu.

daily reminder testing is not officialy supported by security team so it has literally none official packages. Stable Debian is only Debian

If you want Debian with stability, use stable.
If you want Debian with modern-ish packages, use Sid.
If it doesn't have to be Debian, use Gentoo stable.
Gentoo has one of the biggest official repositories of any GNU plus Linux distro.
>>54391327
>Gentoo has one of the biggest official repositories of any GNU plus Linux distro.
But does it also have quantity over quality approach that Debian has?
E.g. is gnome paint (broken software) included?
>>54391340
Not included apparently.
I've never used GNOME Paint though. Why is it broken?
Cuz I'm using the superior Fedora.
>>54390995
They're good, but there is also a huge trust factor
>>54391036
This.
But anon I do
>>54390333
Because I use Debian Stable.
>>54391327
Gentoo desktop users should use ~amd64 (testing) desu. It's quite stable, actually.
>>54390333
Another debian (testing) user reporting in.
It really makes no sense to use anything else. I have tried: Slackware, Red hat, Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu, CentOS, openSuse, Arch, Linux from scratch, Void linux, backtrack, Ångstrom on my 2nd gen ipod, and probably some I've forgotten.
And every time i came back to debian. It just works. Stable is fantastic for servers. I ran debian sarge on a home box for years. Testing is great for every day desktop/laptop use.
The best part? You dont have to only use stable, or testing, or unstable. There's pinning so you can have stable as main and then certain packages from testing. 'apt-get -t {stable,testing,unstable} install' works beautifully too.
Debian developers are organized into teams with team leaders. Theres quality control. There are security updates from security.debian. You can easily install a grsec kernel. Hell you dont even need to use the linux kernel, you can use the freebsd kernel, or gnu hurd if you wish. You can do whatever the fuck you want and it will just work.

Because Ubuntu is superior.
Debian is alright but I like Gentoo so much more.
overall, sid or testing?

Most likely you have done something stupid.
>>54391392
It's unfinished software that - like other, smaller unfinished software projects - gets included as Debian package for ages.
It's a poster child for Debian.

GNU has 0 packages, since its not a OS
Because I use OS X instead.
Because I use sid

not even sid can help you

if you can't "test" and update a software at least to the next release version in 5 months, then there's something terribly wrong

>Windows isn't enough of a botnet, better go for the bottiest botnet I can botnet
>>54398446
How is OS X more of a botnet than Windows 10, which brazenly spies on everyone who uses it?
I hate debian. It has lots of fucked up bugs because the dev team is incompetent. And fuck apt.
Also I use windows 10 now. Just werks for muh games. Come at me bro.
>>54390591
Still more reliable than Windows...
