Quoting Greg Kroah-Hartman:
"After Android, Debian is by far the largest Linux user, and the Debian
kernel developers do an awesome job of tracking the stable kernel
releases which have been documented to fix 99% of known security issues _BEFORE_ they are known (data produced by Google security team for 2 years straight)."

99% is probably a little over optimistic (there's certainly some fixes which land in stable trees after they are publicly known), but his core argument is spot-on.

@cassidy It would also be important IMO the ability of stopping processes that are having some problem, like eating CPU or memory for breakfast.

In this context, a system monitor tool. Having a tool to help identify problems like the above, is not that much use without something to deal with the identified process/problems.

still hanging out in front of fairydust at the marktplatz #cccamp23 where you can play with our open hardware laptops (MNT Reform and Pocket Reform)

@bragefuglseth just as a nitpick :) license is a feature. But app devs already have fields in appstream to state the license, not really needed in the app description, which goes to your point :)

Thanks to all who listened to my newbie impressions of #Prolog at #CCCamp23 ! I hope you learned something too. (The talk was recorded and will be available online.)

If you like the way I present, then see you at my #Rust #workshop on Friday :)

It is my pleasure to announce that I'm leading an #embedded #Rust workshop at the #CCCamp23 . Come on Friday 17:00 to #Schattenland at #ChaosZone .

I'll show you how to use #no_std Rust, aka hard mode. Bring your laptop!

Today we #celebrate the 30th birthday of #debian, one of the largest and most important cornerstones of the #OpenSourceCommunity. With its revolutionary package management system and unwavering commitment to free software, the many Debian developers have now shaped the Linux universe for over three decades. We at TUXEDO also ultimately build our TUXEDO OS on the foundation of Debian. For this we would like to thank you very much and wish you the best for the next 30 years!

By the way, if you want to know more about the history of #GNOME I can totally recommend this talk by @blandford who's been around for a long time as well

30 Years of Stability, Security, and Freedom: Celebrating Debian’s Birthday
linuxiac.com/30-years-debian/

Happy 30th birthday, Debian! Inspiring generations, you shine as a symbol of open-source ideals, innovation, and community.

#linux #opensource #debian

Today, #Debian turns 30 years old.
A milestone achieved only by serious, concrete projects with clear objectives.
My journey with Debian began three years after its inception, and for the past 27 years, Debian has been a constant companion in my daily life. It has never let me down, both in its "pure" form and as a foundation for other projects like #Proxmox, etc. Even now, it remains my favorite Linux distribution (alongside Alpine Linux).

Happy birthday from the #BSDCafe community, Debian! 🎉
