In-case you didn’t know, Linus Sebastian of LTT media made a video with Linus Torvalds. If you watched the video, what are your thoughts?

BTW, he uses Fedora.

    Listen, if Debian users can take all the “Debian==old and bad” flak, you can handle a little ribbing about arch.

      Oh yeah I have to deal with software that noticeably changes multiple times per decade! Spoooooky!

      Except Debian packages do get very old. Which people often have to work around, leading to a less stable system. And Arch is quite stable.

      Stable meaning “works without crashing or glitching” not “version numbers never change” (which is what stable means in Debian Stable).

        “version numbers never change” (which is what stable means in Debian Stable).

        My interpretation of stable isn’t just versions not changing, only that the bugs are known and newer ones aren’t easily introduced, i.e. the state of the system is know. While rolling releases are fantastic for end users and to obtain the latest software, sometimes a particular bug or change will modify a user’s workflow.

        Except nothing. Not the point. You are taking this way too seriously. I’m not disrespecting arch, it’s a joke.

        Arch users… Every. Single. Time.
