    It is possible though to get newer versions using flathub or somethibg, right? (I know very little about linux, but I’m thinking of switching from win10 to debian next year.)

      1. No better time than the present
      2. Yes there are ways of acquiring the latest packages even on Debian stable. Usually I end up compiling that stuff myself
      3. If you’re at all unsure if you want to deal with Debian not pushing the latest and greatest updates you do have options such as running Debian Testing or MX Linux (which itself is based on Debian Testing)

          Sure thing. Just remember its better to do things you want to do rather than waiting for things to be perfect. Lord knows its something I need reminded of sometimes

          Sweet. Welcome to the cult of Debian.

          We (Debian users and contributors) are inevitable. Our quiet satisfied computing cannot be stopped, only delayed.

          We should consider getting some fancy robes and a few club houses, though. The only thing that can make Debian better is cookies and tea.
