I took the car out to charge the battery Sunday afternoon after my AAA jump-start, and I decided to drive by Mission San Fernando. On the baseball field across the street, there was a game going on. Two full teams, uniforms, the whole nine yards. Like COVID isn't a thing.

My Fedora 30-to-32 upgrade was a success. I knew it was going to take a long time, and Fedora didn't disappoint me. Still, I welcome a successful and uneventful upgrade, and I've bought myself another year on this laptop unless I want to install something else.

Debian Security Advisory DSA 4714-3 chromium regression update: This is the update that fixed Chromium in @debian Stable after a previous update broke it a little over a week ago. https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2020/msg00129.html

Debian is very responsive to security issues in the Stable distribution https://www.debian.org/security/

My first stop every day is the Debian Security Information page https://www.debian.org/security/

It's 'so far, so good' with today's Chromium update in @debian. No crashes since I installed it. It took about a week to go from bad update to fix. That's about average. In my experience, this kind of thing — a package update that breaks an app — happens about once per distro release. They are generally fixed in between one and two weeks. Sometimes (but not this time) there is a workaround before then. In this case I suffered with the crashes (which seemingly happened at random). I still had Firefox when I needed a non-crashy browser.

The @debian updates for Chromium are here. Let's see if this resolves my frequent crashes

Debian is supposed to be old and conservative, but it ships Wayland by default. You can get Flatpaks and Snaps if you want them.

One way the stability of Debian Stable breaks down is when some packages are not so stable. That is the case with Chromium, which doesn't offer a package like Firefox ESR. Chromium is way more up to date. I guess there's no other way to do it.
