From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I dunno, it sounds awfully defensive to me. It wasn't meant to hurt you, it's just a discussion about software packaging. There's no personal attacks here.
I did read your comments, and despite trying to change the topic, create strawmen, and shout ad-hominems, it doesn't change the fact that it's reasonable to say Debian packages are often very, very old and outdated. Because they are.
That may not be an issue for you, but it is for many.
You shouldn't let that make you upset, it doesn't invalidate your use-case.
hahaha I swear to you that seeing you strain so hard to push your fallacies who knows where makes me laugh. Believe it or not, there remains a world of people out there laughing at those who use this garbage, and your social media woes will not, as usual, shift half an ounce of reality :) believe it or not, lemmy is not reality, outside those servers there is a real world :) but please, feel welcomed to keep supporting I don't know what theory, you're welcome, at least at this party :PP
Now you're just talking absolute gobbledegook.
I don't know man, the important thing is that you stay calm while I continue to mind my own business. Say hello to the computer vegans from me, and ofc stay hydrated :P and please, PLEASE, do not mumble 3h again your next response sweetie <3
