I don’t know, I’m not on the Debian team. This is probably a question for them. I think the mailing list is public if you wanted to ask someone.

Also TIS-100, the one no one talks about since Shenzhen I/O came out. :(

I have no idea, but I don’t think the team would add a bunch of useless crap into the release notes for no reason. Doesn’t sound very Debian to me.

Here’s the link to the relevant section of the release notes, for your reference. It’s short.

Why not just get a bigger case and upgrade the prebuilt over time? A PC is inherently modular, you can replace what you’ve already got pretty easily, piece by piece. Unless you think all of the components are trash and you want to completely start over, of course.

Even still, an upgraded GPU or CPU will make an immediate impact even on shitty hardware.

That’s why you’re supposed to remove 3rd party repos before you update, but nobody reads the release notes anymore, I guess.

Here is the section of the release notes that deals with the source list.

Also see this man page for further details and examples.

I use Podman with Diun (like Watchtower but no auto-updates) and I think that’s the only time I’ve had to mount the socket into the container. Maybe also CrowdSec. Podman is rootless so I feel a bit better about it.

Any changes you make to the DNS records will take a little while to take effect because the information needs to propagate, just FYI. This is the case whether you’re using your own domain or one of theirs.

Serious question: why should I pay for a search engine? Sounds like just another subscription that’ll enshittify like all the others.

I use fish, I had to learn some new syntax and modify some functions since it’s not POSIX-compliant, but it was pretty painless.

One of the big issues I’ve heard that Nix users have is that you have to write your configs yourself using the Nix syntax, but the documentation isn’t very detailed.

If that sounds challenging to you (in a bad way) you may want to look elsewhere. Note that I’m not a Nix user so I can’t go into specifics, unfortunately.

Oh, great! I didn’t know that.

If stability is the goal, you really can’t go wrong with Debian. I have about 10 containers running on Debian 12 (through Podman) at any given time.

I’ve heard good things about GameMaker (the engine Hotline Miami 1 and 2 use) for beginner devs. It’s hard to recommend an engine without knowing how familiar you are with scripting. GameMaker is 2D-only and isn’t free though.

Godot can be very confusing if you aren’t much of a coder or have trouble with complex workflows. But one thing it does very well is allow you to get a barebones structure up and running quickly, and that really helps with setting up scenes and iterating on them. So if that sounds like your thing, Godot is free and can do 3D as well as 2D.

It’s a Naruto reference. The shinobi in the show channel their chakra (i.e., magic ninja energy) in order to adhere their feet to surfaces for various purposes throughout the show. I think you’re taking the joke too seriously.

I’ve used Ulauncher in the past, it looks nice and it’s launched with a keybinding, but I don’t know if you can configure it to only include certain apps since I don’t use it anymore.

Absolutely. The brand is very important. So many no-name brands out there putting out complete junk that can be straight up unsafe in addition to offering poor (or no) performance.

As far as I know, it includes all installed packages, so the latter.

That’s not really different than Windows. If you do a clean reinstall, all your application data is gone unless you have a backup.

This is why I have my home folder on a separate drive; all of my application data is there and not on my system drive, so a reinstall basically just requires generating a text file of my installed packages, reformatting the system drive and installing the OS, and then installing the packages from the text file.
