That's fine when you need only one or two things, but when you wan't your whole system to be up to date as much as possible it becomes tedious.

And I'm questioning the need for that.

For me it's the fact that I almost always need a feature from a program that's in a recent release that is never in debian/ubuntu until a couple years later.

For every single package?

[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

Just about 90% of packages that I wan't to use

Fairly long-term Mint veteran here: usually if I need software that's more up to date than what's in the standard repo, Flatpak will do.

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
