> Most obvious example is Firefox. The Debian Project allows Firefox to update outside the packaging system, automatically, at the whim of Firefox. No, it's not. Stable ships ESR which has its update mechanism is disabled. Same for Testing/Unstable. It follows standard releases, but autoupdate is disabled. Even Official Firefox Package for Debian from Mozilla has its auto-updates disabled and you get updates from the repository. Only auto-updating version is the .tar.gz version which you extract to your home folder. This is plain FUD. Moreover: Debian doesn't ship pulseaudio anymore. It's pipewire since forever. Many people didn't notice this, it was that smooth. Ubuntu's changes are not allowed to permeate without proper rigor (I follow debian-devel), and it's still released when it's ready. Ubuntu follows Debian Unstable, and Unstable suite is a rolling release, and they can snapshot it and start working on it whenever they want. I'm using Debian since version 3 too, and I still reboot or tend my system only at kernel changes. It's way snappier w.r.t. Ubuntu with the same configuration for the same tasks, and is the Debian we all know and like (maybe sans systemd. I'll not open that can of worms). |
