Ok, so which Debian branch are /g/ents using?
minimal install Testing master race
>>54238296
stable for my home server. I mean debios good but it baffles me people use it for a desktop experience
>>54238296
doesn't matter.
just be careful you don't catch suicide
>>54238381
*rape and police brutality
8.4 beetches
>>54238296
Fucking nigger edition
>>54238296
stable for my server, testing w/updates on my laptop
Ubuntu.
>>54238347
Testing is probably the worst of them
>>54238526
thus all *buntus are shit
>>54238347
second this, don't listen to retards who broke their setups, it's their fault.
>>54238347
Minimal install FTW but the first thing to do with a testing distro is change your apt sources.list to the unstable repositories and do an apt-get dist-upgrade.
Unstable with xfce4 has been very stable for me.
>>54238296
Old-old-stable, because I'm not an edgy retard.
>>54241012
XFCE is always stable since they only update their shit every few years. People aren't even gonna know XFCE is abandoned years after it has already been, kek.
>>54238296
Unstable all the way baby.
>>54241012
Agreed. Unstable + XFCE4 here as well
Sarge4lyfe
Server: stable
Computers for others: stable
My own shit: sid
>>54238296
Stable because I'm running a server
>>54242578
I just started downloading sarge via jigdo for my 'retro' machine.
The whole distro fits in two DVDs, which shouldn't surprise me, but it does.
>>54238296
Testing on desktop and laptop, never had any issue. Stable on server of course.
>>54238389
it appears that ian was blacked.
>>54238296
Jessie stable. I'm too much of a faggie to trade it with the uncertain future.
Debian: Arch Edition
Stable with some backports
>>54238296
unstable, what else?
>>54238371
I like it really. id rather my arch but its been a pain seting up the gui
Stable with backports, some unstable packages, language-specific packages (pip, npm, etc), stuff I compiled myself. I should try slackware some time, I can't be arsed to learn how to deal with creating proper debian packages besides using checkinstall.
Mint
>>54238296
Debian is only for servers.
>>54241012
why not use unstable in the first place then?
>>54238296
16 Raspberry Pi 2 B cluster
Minibian stable on all because I'm still a poor bastard and went with 2gb cards for all except the master
>>54250980
Can't. There are no unstable isos
Meh. I've used Debian for the last, like, twelve years. As my primary for most of that.
I'm almost done migrating everything over to OpenBSD and FreeBSD. I had been clinging to squeeze for so long, putting it off. Kicking myself for that. OpenBSD in particular is goddamn *beautiful*.
Sorry, but I wasted three years legit trying to embrace systemd. Wasted a lot of time on it professionally, too. Those chucklefucks at Red Hat had really better have their shit together in time for EL8, or I'm moving our EL6 systems to FreeBSD. It's probably about the same level of effort, anyway.
>>54250958
here is your (You)
>>54251296
Nope. (Screenshot incoming, because bored.)
>>54250958
>>54251242
>>54251334
Wait, what? Does it not do that anymore? Been away from 4chan for a few months.
Fuck it. I'm done anyway. I just had to do about a dozen captchas in a goddamn row.
sid
Debian stable is rock solid
>>54238526
Could you explain why? I've never used unstable so I wouldn't know.
>>54251873
Ex-Debian user here, but seriously, read the handbook. It's in there.
- Stable won't fuck you over and gets preferential treatment security-wise.
- Unstable is where all the fresh new shit goes.
- Testing is staging for the next stable. Depending on where you're at in the release cycle, it can be very far behind unstable, but still broken regularly. When shit does break, it goes to unstable first and does not hit testing until a minimum delay. It is dead last in the security process. By far.
Don't fucking run testing.
>>54248439
underrated
>>54247822
this tbqh, the stability is worth it
Plus I like not having to download like 500 meg of packages updates each week
