    I did it on the GUI all day yesterday! The only problem Debian has is being unbreakable!

    Heck, I switched repos from bookworm to trixie and installed 3 GiB worth of packages - 2.5k packages - and booted into a PERFECTLY WORKING system!

    Installed the other 8 GiB afterwards and booted into a perfectly working system. Just before I thought Steam was broken, I rebooted and it came alive too.

    And my GTX 1650 worked right away! Do you know how many times the daily 1 GiB update on Ubuntu breaks that?!

    Flatpak updates are kinda’ slow, no 4 GiB downloads needed per day, Debian updates arrive at like 200 MiB a month except for apps like VSCode, Signal, or Discord. And - to be honest - that’s the Windows-unlike experience every distro is missing.

    Debian really is unbreakable.

    Have to be honest! My own Termux install is 7 GiB! Used to be 8 with Debby on it. Used to be 3 since after uninstalling Debian. I had also cleaned out files. Will have to see why it’s 7 now.

    Used to have a friend with a Fedora install that put Termux at 20 for them LOL.

    Should use just Debian maybe, unless the Termux package is preferred. But having sudo is awesome!

    Also I think I tried and uninstalled UserLAnd like two weeks ago because it wasn’t as smooth as I expected, I think.

    Not saying anything bad about you, I must reconsider because you said so!!!

    I’m actually, genuinely shocked by the ageism in such debates every single time. There’s no such thing as age-based incompetence, TBH. There are sound people for every field available everywhere. Why do we have to assume this? Every generation has at least a few people who are competent in their field, even in computing. It’s more important that the literate of us unite to end illiteracy and stop injustice being done in the name of technology. This, honestly, is just making fun of each other, for apparently no sound reason. And I’m talking about the comments, not the meme. I might, or not, get some sour disagreements, or straight-up very bitter replies for arguing even this, …and again, I ask: Do we reeaaally have to do this?

    Technology too has a supposed duty of bringing people together…!

    I agree! But I guess it is a good option for those who still just have to stick, for e.g. IT reasons. That script does a little bit more than a lot of debloating.

    Could be any reasons, right? Gotta be mindful of those!..

    …

    Legacy personal projects!
    Visual Studio!
    Some games!
    The sudden need for a Windows-only tool!

    And some people still don’t want to switch away from… say, their Adobe tools. They don’t want to!

    They don’t want to is what!

    Same for say… those who want to play multiplayer games with… unfortunately, kernel-anti cheats…

    There’s also folk who are stuck for organizational reasons like Microsoft 365 subscriptions.

    Here in India, Linux “market-share” jumped up to 14%, sure, but many, many people want to stick to Windows. Linux is an alien concept to most.

    Must promote the good thing!

    But rationality, man!

    Can’t speak a ton on the part about taking full advantage of your hardware, but Debian is THE Just Works™ solution of Linux distributions. I’ve had not a single problem on Debian. I was on rolling-release Ubuntu (actually, it was KDE Neon) for a year after my first few weeks on Kubuntu, on which Plasma was TERRIBLY broken at the time. It used to apparently be broken on either Kubuntu or Neon at any given time, and never both, and I think it’s stable enough everywhere now, but once I came to Debian, I have decided to never look back or “ahead”. There’s always an alternative method to achieve what you want on Debian.
