Suffering. I love not ever worrying about what updates will do to my system but xfce is the only desktop environment I use and this version while it took years to come has some really nice improvements. Also, it seems even Sid doesn't have it yet.
Use Debian stable

Debian is for servers, friend.

>Not just building from source
You can literally just it right now if you want. Going to take a lot longer if you wait for someone to package it nicely
Luke Reyes
largely this. Debian is for servers and very old tech boomers.
Isaac Jenkins
lmao, the only valid option for servers is BSD.
Dominic Collins
Install Gentoo
Oliver Gonzalez
I guess I'll have to.
Grayson Jenkins
I'm using Debian oldstable in my VMs. Fully free, stable as fuck, and widely supported as a build platform. Pretty comfy.
Cameron Nguyen
I still have three VMs that I need to move to buster, along with my main desktop and my NAS. I'm lazy, which is part of the reason I like a slow-moving distro.
Luke Young
Please report on what it breaks. I share your feelings on Debian and XFCE
Aiden Ortiz
Don't quote me on this but from what I've heard MX 19 might be up for testing around next month and will have xfce 4.14 by default including other new things. If you want Debian stable and don't mind some extra bloat(because of all the mx tools it has) I'd say MX would be a good choice to install soon
Isaiah Reed
Then install Void
Carter Martin
Man I had my adventures with one man projects. Void is great, lightweight and simple but I need something I know I can count on for the next 10 years. Nothing against Void, I just can't allow to lose time if something goes wrong(which to be fair didn't happen while I had void installed but it's always a risk with rolling releases).

Leo Campbell
No, it isn't. It shouldn't just be for servers. It needs improvements for usage on pcs. And likely you should install Debian testing in that case.
Wyatt Gutierrez
Sorry lads linux newb here but aren't most all desktop linux distros just Debian offshoots?
Jaxon Myers
ye arch is just debian testing basically
Jackson Perry
Leave Jow Forums right now
Adam Cruz
>aren't most all desktop linux distros just Debian offshoots?
No.
Isaac Kelly
I use it on my home server? Did I do good?
Easton Roberts
Debian testing is fine on desktops.
Isaac Bailey
>any fixes are required to stay at least 2,5, or 10 days in unstable before entering testing
no thanks
