No dawg that’s a whole new sentence. I have no knowledge nor complaints about what Debian is doing, I’m just saying the wording used previously in this thread isn’t a fair characterisation of Linus.
I mean they could have just picked Debian 12… I doubt Debian will make retroactive slop updates to older versions of the distro. At least that’s what I’m doing on the systems I administer: set up a custom package that conflicts with base-files >= 13 and with some already-known slopified version numbers (thanks to Open Slopware) to keep things a bit more under control.
Thanks to how Debian versions packages, numero 2 is solved with a package solution like mine (liberal use of >> for package version comparison), so that you can’t install the updates that come with slopification.
I mean if you want something that’s stable and you really don’t have to think about upgrading similar to Debian there’s always NixOS. wee bit of a learning curve but once you have it configured you can pretty much forget about it. can even run stuff without installing it if you wanted.
As a programmer, I can always run stuff without installing ;)
As a user, however, I wish to have 3D acceleration capable graphics drivers for the occasional game.
as a Debian user: I wish they had chosen a distro that didn’t just decide to accept slop contributions.
Enjoy BSD then, because Linus Torvalds also uses LLM’s
Torvalds losing his marbles is not new, sadly.
He’s not making slop patches to the kernel.
So you are implying the Debian maintainers are adding “slop”?

How exactly are you defining “slop” here?

Could have but
I had to freeze rsync because of that :(
