    Debian currently has some drama in their ftpmasters team, they argue with the debian project leader, then their team was disbanded in favor of two new teams, then some quit, etc. Seems like the usual open source way of doing things. Hopefully it won’t affect the releases.

      This is the absolute great thing about debian. The transparency. There is drama everywhere, but with debian it is all out in the open. Not something you have the read between the lines from a pr story.

      Debian is fucking great!

        I agree, I’ve been running debian for, idk, 10-15 years now. Sometimes I try other distros, but Debian feels like home. I love how they use Condorcet voting, the social contract, the community.

      Ah, the two options of running open source projects:
      Either the fate of something everyone depends on rests on the shoulders of a single person,
      Or a team does it and eventually splits up due to internal disagreements.
