well at least they aren’t trying to make me install snaps, and patching apt so if I sudo apt install firefox it installs the snap version.
This should be a jailable crime.
especially as the hack flows downriver to distros with actual dignity like mint. Like this is pollution of the water supply dog!
I by way the Debian use.
Btw I use Debian
I use Debian btw

KDE? Who needs anything other than FVWM2 or CDE?
As someone who loves the old designs (I’ve run Chicago95 for years now), the only thing stopping me from running CDE is it lacks first-class support from any distro I’ve used
NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for staying more than ONE VERSION behind
Joke’s on you, my servers are largely unaffected by regreSSHion because they’re too outdated.
so old that they are still vulnerable to the same vurnability
Debian was the first distro I tried when switching to Linux. Didn’t ever make it through the install process…
Skill issue
It very much was
Was he supposed to start with a higher skill level or something? That’s like the “just be born richer” attitude of tech
Nah, it sounded funny…
“Just be born richer” sounds funnier though
Anyway, Debian had a reputation of being really difficult to install in the late 2000’s. I probably got lucky with it. I started using it in 2011 (first time using linux and a computer illiterate just as today) and i went through it just the MS way, like “whatever, continue, continue”.
It’s my main OS since 2013
Okay… No.
debian? kde? arch? nixos? gentoo? Ubuntu? what the hell are all of these? just use mint, it basically fits every use case.

The ssh vulnerability didn’t affect Debian because the packages were too many versions behind
Isn’t this meme format completely written in sarcasm?
We’re on a meme page. There is little difference between sarcasm and being serious here. It doesn’t matter whether OP is being fully sarcastic or fully serious, people in the comments may hold the same opinion seriously, sarcastically, or with a mixture of both. The format is irrelevant
Except this isn’t true at all.

Regresshion impacted bookworm and trixie both. Buster was too old.
With the downside of me doing an apt update and seeing that openssh-server was on
1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3
and I had no idea at a glance if this included the fix or not (qualys’s page states version 8.5p1-9.8p1 were vulnerable).If you are running debian bookworm or trixie, you absolutely should update your openssh-server package.
AFAIK, the xz vulnerability was designed for Debian based on its workaround fixing systemd service status detection. Even if it shipped to something like Arch, the malicious code wouldn’t load.
Security through Geriatricity
The “install lib-blah-blah-blah” bit doesn’t bother me 'cause whenever I need to make something work, I just copy and paste the “sudo apt install …” commands straight from the internet :)
I also never used version pinning in debian

This is great! No better way to demonstrate how perfect Debian is! Debian for the win!
