It's anyone who appreciates the value of stability in server software. In my personal opinion, that value is quite high and far too quickly cast aside by others in the industry.

I am one of those people who agree with you. On my main family computer we run Alma Linux with flatpaks for the main accounts.

I use guix to get up to date tools for development stuff.

(On my laptop I run aeon desktop and guix. I really do think that model is the future. Right now I am hoping to be able to run aeon desktop but with the opensuse slowroll packages which would give me all the benefits of aeon but without the constant updates).

I think it's unsurprising that the company that coined "Move fast and break things" was fine using Stream.
