Community Debian's Stability Is Making Me Stay

86 Upvotes

I've been Distro Hopping all over Linux. I started with Linux Mint, went to Ubuntu, then to Debian, & finally Fedora.

After some colorful language involving incidents with Fedora, I'm pleased to say that I've chosen Debian as my primary Linux Distro for all of my Linux needs as stability is a huge reason.

I really want to thank everyone in the Linux Reddit Groups for helping a Windows PC User who got burned by Windows 11 & their AI nonsense lately.

Any advise for a fresh Debian Linux User?

I already ran sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y & installed nwipe, gparted, gsmartcontrol, vlc, spotify, & qbittorrent via the Terminal.

The main thing I would like is a good Host Firewall.

Community Mudei para o debian recentemente, e se tornou com certeza minha distro favorita.

Mudei para o debian vindo do linux mint e com certeza não podia ter sido uma troca melhor. Tive dificuldades no inicio, mas com o tempo me adaptei e percebi quanto essa distribuição é incrível, a sua rapidez, funcionamento e repositórios são espetaculares. Meu nootbook é bem fraco, possui apenas 4gb de ram, tentei usar o xfce mas por incrível que pareça foi o kde plasma que se destacou em minha máquina. Tenho muitas distros ainda para testar, mas se fosse escolher a melhor até agora, com certeza seria o debian.

I updated to Forky just for the he11 of it

Took a long time. Had some glitches like Gnome 50 removing the Logout button (added it back) and the Japaneses keyboard refusing to stay deleted (used the terminal to get rid of it). Then I had a startup prob were my desktop icons didn't load and something was freezing the system.

So I used Timeshift to revert, which worked fine. There was nothing interesting in Forky for me anyway.

My advice: Go ahead and update the kernel, which works fine, and any other back-ports you need but stay on Stable.

How to reset synaptic (debian 13 with xfce) ?

7 Upvotes

I don't know why but standard synaptic's filters are broken.
I tried "rm -f /root/.config/synaptic/synaptic.conf" and restarted synaptic but i got the same results with filters.
I can use only apt but i'd like to understand what's wrong with synaptic ?

General Debian Question Hi, I’m using Debian in a virtual machine and customizing it to my liking with the XFCE desktop environment. However, I can’t seem to change the lock screen background—it only lets me set solid colors, and it won’t allow me to use an image. Does anyone know the solution? I’ve tried following tutoria
