I hear that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

Not new

And what do you mean by "new" exactly?

It's really a vibe. I see people complaining about it all the time about Debian, so I'd expect those people to answer based on their own definition of new/old and talk about problems (or lack of) it's brought them.

So then your original question isn't 'How "out of date" is Debian really?' but 'If you complain that Debian is "out of date", what do you mean?'

I mean, isn't that how communication works? "Has the heat outside affected you?" It doesn't matter what I consider hot and they consider hot, I'm asking if the heat affects them. "If the heat outside is hot enough that it has bothered you, has it affected you negatively?" It's a mouthful.

No. Heat affects everyone. Regarding Debian, what exactly do you think has affected everyone?

I don't think I can make this clearer for you. Pretty much everyone else seems to have understood the question. You're going to need to figure this one out on your own. Good luck!

LOL I'm not asking because I don't understand and I want you to explain it to me, I'm trying to get you to see the error in your thinking.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is no error in my thinking, you're just being overly pedantic (while also incorrect).

[–] rah@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago

LOL I disagree.
