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

    He's not making slop patches to the kernel.

    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.

    Could have but

    1. I somehow doubt they did
    2. patches flow back into stable, too.

    I had to freeze rsync because of that :(

    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.
