I'm sure they had good reasons to make the switch, but I don't really understand the argument about kernel and ruby versions. An upgrade to the newest LTS release would have gotten them ruby 3.2 and probably a newer kernel as well.
Because Debian is known for its up to date software, right? Gave me a good chuckle.
Moving distros to get a new version of ruby is some amateur shit.
The distro ruby is for distro ruby app packages. It is not really meant for people to build their software against.
stableis not the only debian release. Additionally, while ubuntu may be great for beginners or corporate offices, it really does suck compared to other distros. They've added so much garbage and guardrails the performance is dog shit (in comparison to other distros like debian).That article is so bad. While still debatable, what he actually said wasn't anything like it's been represented.
Maybe not relevant to this news about the Ruby on Rails part of the website, but when Frederick did a talk about the map-rendering server, it needed an extremely specific combination of postgres version and options, and kernel version and options, to have a chance at being efficient enough to work, even on the enormous amount of memory available at the time.
