two soyjaks superimposed on a terminal screen, pointing towards the terminal output that reads the following:
91 packages can be upgraded. Run 'apt list --upgradable' to see them.

*laughs in sid
living on the edge? how does it feel like?
As refugee from long time daily driving arch (4 years straight) i say
It's honestly a lot smoother than people say. Things mostly work fine, and the odd breakage is never a real issue and is quickly resolved.
However, I had to install Librewolf as an AppImage, since bgstack15 was having some trouble getting the OBS to work recently.
Running sid for 5 years now. Had one major breakage where couldnt boot into DE automatically for a few days. I think it affected everyone....
Had one other minor breakage where i ignored a warning from apt-listbugs.... I learned my lesson after that
So... Overall, sid has been a really good experience.. Just make sure you read the listbugs warning on every update. And always double check if running full-upgrade to ensure nothing important is getting removed
What is "sid"?
(I'm a Kubuntu normie.)
Debian distros are named after Toy Story characters.
Sid is a kid who breaks all the toys.
Sid is Debian's unstable branch :D
It's the "unstable" rolling version of Debian. The issue I used to have with Debian was that the packages were quite old, but that's not the case with Sid.
