Just a reminder, going from 6.x to 7.x does not mean there are more new features than usual. The numbering is totally arbitrary and Linus once joked about running out of fingers and toes to count

Debian
But i installed pw a long time ago, so back then, they worked side by side… i guess none of the major upgrades auto removed it, so i just left it. I just assumed that if it has become a full replacement, the debian package manager would just drop it at some point
When will PW become a total replacement for pulse?
it bothers my OCD that i still have both installed and PW seems to be dependent on pulse
Edit: i’m on debian, and even though pw has replaced pulse, there are still a bunch of pulseaudio packages and programs floating around on my system


The bitter sarcasm of a veteran who saw this coming by virtue of having caused it?
a bit of this. Although in my defense, I wasnt working in advertising at the time (my company didnt even have an advertising division)
also, i dont work for one of the big tech companies that have their claws in your digital life. But i can see how it contributes at some level, however minor.


Getting out of the grasp of big tech.
Been self hosting for over 10 years before anyone coined the term enshittification. When i started, i could never imagine things getting THIS BAD with tech companies. I am happier and happier with my decision to self host things every day
I work in advertising


Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i’m afraid i’ve accidentally left some security hole without realizing it
For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew… well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80
so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after…
It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet
Probably no harm since its a public server anyway… defense in depth is the key

Debian unstable is not a distro…
You cant complain about software breakage in a software that is still under development
Consider it as an early access game on steam.
You can only abuse your customers so much
you’d think so… but the number of friends and family who still put up with this shit is incredible. Ads in the start menu, copilot popping up every time you press a wrong button on the keyboard, the entire task bar changing overnight with ads and stock tickers…
That last one pisses me off so much… “i dont want to learn linux!”… MF’er, microsoft just rearranged your entire task bar and start menu overnignt and you didnt seem to have a problem adapting your workflow… why would switching to gnome or KDE be any different?


I enabled the Xe driver last night and got almost 50% improvement on vkmark score. Not sure if that benchmark translates into real life gaming. Will have to test more

It’s a song. Go have a listen on whatever music service you use
Wowwwww… cant believe i missed it. Thanks
Thanks!


Dev seems like a good dude with more self awareness than 10 average people combined.
Please don’t blame the kernel devs.
Agreed… almost certainly not a kernel issue. Linus is famous for absolutely losing his shit if a kernel breaks userspace


Tenacity is still active
That has ALWAYS been the case. I dont know why people are surprised now… ubuntu has alqays been backed by canonical. And it has always been based on the work of debian. What did people expect?
People have always been saying to just skip the corporate bullshit and go straight to the source… debian
Unfortunately there was a very loud group of people online shitting on debian, saying that it’s too difficult or user friendly or whatever… may have been true 10 years ago, but not anymore


I’ve never had to manually delete kernels.
Apt autoremove automatically takes care of older kernels
Maybe try reinstalling your default stable kernel linux-image-amd64 (or whatever architecture)
Typically, no need to specify specific kernel versions like 6.12


I’ve done 3 dist-upgrades… Just read the release notes and if not, at least the warnings that show up during the apt upgrade process… Dont just hit “yes” or “quit” on all the text
