I just dug up a USB stick and came perilously close to putting the #openbsd installer on it. That would be an attention-deficit fail, so instead I've just started a jigdo run to put together a #debian bullseye ISO so I can get a peek of what my regular laptop is going to be like this summer. Please, #bullseye, don't be another depressing Debian release.

@alrs, what was depressing about the last/current Debian release?

@mcsinyx the normal stuff, over the last decade. menu system going away. systemd. pulseaudio. network scripts getting worse (ifup gnores ctrl-C). libvirt getting wonkier. I'm always scared that a new release is going to require network-manager or wicd and deprecate /etc/network/interfaces. There was that huge opportunity of making xfce the default over GNOME (I use neither) that was reverted. I'm not looking forward to Wayland, I assume it will probably break my workflow pretty badly.

@mcsinyx In short, #Debian used to be one of my favorite things in life, then it went to shit and made me angry, and now it's just a source of low-key sadness.

@mcsinyx Firefox is going to be gone in five years, tops, and I've heard #debian rumblings about removing Chromium. IBM is in the driver's seat. Things are bleak.

@alrs @mcsinyx
I sincerely hope you get proven wrong. If Firefox disappears, I don't know what I'll do.
