Debian is 30 years old for a reason.
That’s really freaking cool! Thanks for sharing! What was the work effort for this amount of progress? I’d like to do this with my next house.
Do you mind sharing pictures of what this looks like?
This is the answer.
I liked Ubuntu prior to snap. I’ve gone back to Debian and aside from a slightly complex install, I think that the distro is the epitome of stability and “just works”, especially for the normal software stuff I do. It’s 30 years old for a reason.
My experiences with arch are that it just broke if you looked at it funny and I like stuff that doesn’t require the constant tinkering. This is the same reason I don’t do smart tech and still own dumb and mechanical watches.
I feel like I’m in the minority in this community lately.
I’ve been a software developer for 7 years and I’ve grown to hate terneries entirely. They only hinder readability. Readability is the biggest factor in maintainability. Code that is hard to maintain makes bugs.
I always mark PRs with nested terneries as “needs work”.
And honestly, nano as the default makes sense, it’s lightweight and gets the job done. I still have that as my default.
Honestly, most of the defaults are good enough for me. I just run vi and it does the job well enough. If I need to configure a good dev environment, I’ll just install stuff with apt-get install and mangle stuff onto my PATH.
It works with WINE ok, but you might get better luck with someone more native.
Seconding SumatraPDF, it has steered me through storms for years.
Debian, because I can just have a computer without needing to fiddle with a million things. I work in tech and don’t want to mess with any more code or configurations if I’m on my own computer. It’s worked for me for 5 years and has worked for others for 30 years.
Portable monitors have been extremely convenient when I used to travel to a client site to program. A cheap one is worth getting.
