More heartfelt pleas[1] for 32-bit x86 to remain in Debian, without an appreciation of the dire state of 32-bit x86[2].

Okay, I'm doing it. I'm giving a fair shot for the first time in about a decade. You fediverse people convinced me.

@LouisIngenthron I have installed four(?) different distros in the last week, and they all went in fine except vanilla , which I don't know how I screwed it up, but I did. , , and were all just as easy as was once upon a time: click "ok" a bunch until you hit a welcome screen. Notably absent was the requirement that I sign into their exclusive service to even use the software.

Just saying. Your mileage has clearly varied.

if you install #Debian with #XFCE, you get the xfce4-goodies package, which means you get xfburn. LOL, CD burning. I don't even have an optical drive in this machine.

Gentoo and NetBSD ban 'AI' code, but Debian doesn't – yet

The problem isn't just that LLM-bot generated code is bad – it's where it came from.

I think maybe #Debian 12 with #XFCE is literally perfect for me. And that's without doing anything in terminals, only clicking around in GUI settings. I didn't even have to install any additional packages.

Wie kann ich in /etc/network/interfaces in #Debian es einstellen, dass auf allen Interfaces #DHCP gemacht wird, auch wenn ich jetzt noch nicht weiß, wie das Interface in Zukunft heißen wird?

Jetzt steht da halt:
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp

Aber auf einer anderen Hardware heißt das Ding ja vielleicht eth0 statt enp1s0...

Also was tun?
Brauch ich ein Startupscript, dass die Config generiert?

For our fellow nerds (you’re reading about Linux on the Fediverse, we see you!), dive into the release notes for more details:

https://support.endlessos.org/en/endless-os/release-notes/6

And of course, thank you to the free & open source projects & communities of Linux, Debian, and GNOME for many of the improvements we’re shipping in Endless OS 6. We strongly believe in open source, and would not be able to have the impact we do without standing on the shoulders of the projects we build upon. 🧡

@amin, have you gotten scli to work in #Debian?

I gave up because pipx refuses to install urwid, and I think Debian's version is drumroll way too old. ;)
I wish pipx just had scli. There's an scli package in PyPI, but it's literally an empty placeholder for nothing.
Infuriating.

The funny part about the removal of networking from the default #keepassxc package on #debian, is that they did it for "security" reasons, without thinking that the MOST INSECURE way to transfer a #password to your #browser is via the CLIPBOARD. Absolutely every running app or service can read the clipboard! And yet, that's the default way they expect users to do it now!

That maintainer didn't think it through at all.

I'm as intrigued by as I was by , but ultimately I'm not sure the complexity is worth it for me.

Even has a ratio of complexity vs. benefits that fits well with my work (and play) flow.

, and all hide enough of the nitty gritty behind the scenes — updates happen without me needing to know it.

And traditional is so familiar and reliable, it's hard not to tap it for just about any use case.
