Your changes can’t hurt me!

Join the Debian Trixie upgrade fun today :) https://micronews.debian.org/
“bookworm” is now oldstable and “bullseye” is oldoldstable.
So “bullseye” got promoted from outdated to antique?
No way, I just upgraded my server to bookworm this week!
Time to download new Plasma bugs! I just hope it will decrease crashing frequency to once per week with Wayland backend, with Bookworm it was once per day, which is not fun if you need to keep several windows open.
I’m on Fedora with Plasma & Wayland, everything just works… Honestly not sure if Fedora is doing something special or all this talk of Plasma being crashy is overblown.
Plasma has a cycle of releasing a bunch of new features and changes, and then squashing bugs every week when they discover them.
Debian is on a 2+ year release schedule, and the packages are frozen long before the release. So plasma might be either working fine, or be broken for 2+ years.
Fedora is semi-stable because it’s on a 4 month schedule, and AFAIK they don’t rush upgrading to new major plasma versions, so plasma works a lot better.
Generally from my experience, plasma works best on rolling distros, while it’s crap on stable ones. Stable DEs like xfce are incomparably better suited to stable distros.
I haven’t had plasma crash on debian, fedora, or opensuse using wayland on three completely different, albeit older setups. It was completely unusable briefly on opensuse with an Nvidia card, but zero crashes that I can recall.

Plasma 6 is a significant upgrade for sure, especially on Wayland! I’d rate the crash frequency (on Fedora) at between once per week and once per month ;-)
My work laptop has Kubuntu LTS, which is on Plasma 5.27 with X11, whereas I get to use the latest Plasma with Wayland on my personal laptop. Granted, I don’t do much gaming or such, but I definitely run into fewer bugs with the latter…
I had 0 crashes with plasma 5.27 on debian 12 and I used it for 1.5 years, I have been using unstable for 6 months with plasma and only 3 crashes of which plasma mamaged to recover gracefully on all of them, I genuinely dont know how people get Plasma to crash so much more often than I, and I have only used the wayland session
I’ve been on Debian Kde with X11 for this very reason, well, this and the lack of wacom support. But I heard upstream in Kde land, things are a lot better now, so I’m happy to try again. If not, well… see ya in 2 years or so.
The Debian 6.12 kernel trying to find modules for your fancy new hardware:
With unstable all bets are off.
true but only if you dont use the latest hardware. IMO, if you already have a computer then Debian is 100% crash proof, minus user errors. Using the latest computer spec on Debian is just a nightmare.
Or proprietary shit
Debian is the only distro that if installed on my iMac 2013 shows a black screen after installation
Going into the Trixie update blind with no backups, first reboot was already a failure, wish me luck.
Success! Only real issue was the
nvidia-persistenced.servicenot starting preventing boot, runningsudo apt purge *nvidia*and reinstalling resolves the issue.Try arch) it’ll not boot at all
Debian: where change is just background noise 👌🏼
Just last week I updated the kernel in my arch laptop and now the touchpad doesn’t work anymore
Luckily the solution was just
pacman -S linux-ltsAs someone who hosts multiple web servers with https let me just say SSL is the absolute worst, it doesn’t matter how you use it it just sucks getting set up
*TLS
You could just use a reverse proxy at the edge and Let’s encrypt certs. Caddy works with only a few lines of config.
Certbot is your friend
I use Let’sEncrypt with Nginx Proxy Manager. Really nice piece of software
Go the lazy way and use an open source panel, I like runtipi. There is also dokploy, caprover, cosmos cloud, casaos, coolify, yunohost (not docker), etc. all make that part easy
