I used to think I found the perfect, stable, boring system with Debian + KDE Plasma.
I installed it.
I left literally everything on default.
I booted it.
Everything worked out of the box.
I was looking forward to a perfect, stable, boring computing experience.
My cat walked across the keyboard and crashed the OS.
It rebooted to a blinking cursor and nothing else.
So if you’re hiring a software quality assurance engineer, her salary expectation is 80k kitty treats, a corner office overlooking a park with squirrels, and an assistant who will pet her at work and doesn’t mind getting their earlobes nibbled.
Ooh, exciting, a user-friendly distro based on Ubuntu…checks notes…LTS 20.04???
Holy shit, that’s older than Debian Oldstable.
When these .deb package versions were released, my cat’s mom wasn’t even born yet.
Yeah it gets updates slowly, but zorin 17 has MUCH newer packages, and it just went into beta.
Its updated to to 22.0something
btw its packages are now not unbeleivably old!
