I am now running Debian 10 Buster with the Backports kernel

OpenBSD is now my workstation - Chris Humphries https://sogubsys.com/openbsd-is-now-my-workstation-operating-system/

Pairing @debian Stable with Flatpaks seems like a very good way to go

I let the @debian installer autopartition the drive, and had I know it would be a problem, I would have made /boot MUCH bigger than 250 MB so I wouldn't have to deal with space issues.

I don't know what happened -- could be a bug fix -- but I am now running the stock @debian kernel with no i2c touchpad issues. I'm not crazy about /boot filling up. I don't remember this happening the last time I ran Stable, and it doesn't happen on encrypted @fedora.

On my @debian 10 system with encrypted LVM, /boot is running out of room. It only has 250 MB, and I had whatever kernels Debian installed and then a Liquorix kernel. I got rid of all the Liquorix kernels and then the older Debian kernels.

Today's update on my @debian Stable system took care of multiple security issues in @firefox-esr https://www.debian.org/security/2019/dsa-4516

Windows 10 issues — unpredictable updates, random slowdows, unresponsive Desktop Search — sent me running to @debian, which has been running like butter

Debian supports Flatpak, which I'm definitely going to try https://flatpak.org/

Don't Break Debian from the Debian Wiki offers a lot of good advice https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Pro tip: There are @debian images to run the distribution live and install it that include non-free firmware. I used a live image both to test and install Debian Buster. https://cdimage.debian.org/images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/

Are people really still dependent (or even using) iTunes, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, or whatever it is they call their audio services? I'm thinking not so much, but what do I know?

I have written A LOT of @debian articles over the years. A whole lot. http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/

I wrote an article about using @debian Squeeze with Backports in 2012 http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/2012_0104_debian_backports_kernel

I forgot about @debian Backports. I wrote about it in an old blog post, and it still exists. It might be a better source that Liquorix for newer kernels to use with Debian Stable, though Liquorix is very Debian-centric. https://backports.debian.org/

I wrote an even earlier post on upgrading @debian Squeeze to Wheezy http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/2012_0629_upgrade_squeeze_to_wheezy

I wrote about upgrading from @debian Squeeze to Wheezy in 2012 http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/2012_1130_debian_wheezy_improvements

I wrote about Debian 9 Stretch and my feelings about @debian back in 2017 http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/2017_0618_debian_9_stretch_is_the_new_stable

Yep, I blogged about the #Liquorix kernel for @Debian in 2011 http://stevenrosenberg.net/blog/linux/debian/2011_0223_debian_squeeze_and_the_liquorix_kernels_i_update_with_aptitude

The #Liquorix kernel has solved my touchpad-logging-flood issue in @debian Buster. I'm sure I blogged about the last time Liquorix saved my bacon, and that time was probably in 2010. http://liquorix.net

I was a huge user of Debian Etch (2007-08), Lenny (2009-10) and Squeeze (2011), with some time out for Fedora 13-15 (2010-11) before I returned to Debian Squeeze (2011-12), then Fedora 18-30 (2013-2019). Now I'm back on Debian Buster (and it's still 2019).

Another thing @debian has in its repo: JavaFX/OpenJFX for Java 11 https://packages.debian.org/buster/openjfx

One of the reasons I wanted to run @debian is that it has EVERYTHING in its repos. And it does. I just found Leiningen. While I love @fedora, Debian's huge repo allows me to manage nearly everything via apt. https://packages.debian.org/buster/leiningen

I'll say it again: swapping an M.2 NVMe SSD for a spinning hard drive is a total game-changer

I'm enjoying the slow pace of updates on @debian 10 Buster. I had one new package yesterday and none today. Right now I don't need anything to be new, so Debian Stable is a good place to park.

If you are using a dark theme in Linux (like Adwaita Dark in GNOME) with Firefox and are having problems with black-on-black or white-on-white form fields, this 2-year-old fix still works https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283086#c7

So far, Debian GNOME on an M.2 SSD is killing Windows 10 on a spinning hard drive. It's not like it's a fair fight, but the performance gain is real and really huge. I didn't realize how much of a bottleneck a magnetic hard drive can be.

Debian has more rough edges than Fedora, and I'm still trying to get .exe files to run in GNOME without drama, but I wanted to have more apps packaged and a much quieter update cycle.

Everything is faster with a cheap M.2 SSD. I was able to get one super cheap, although it's almost too small at 250GB, and Debian Buster is FLYING on it.
