So a new major version of Debian has been released, and now I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version. I don’t want to rush to conclusions like “Ubuntu has money for better quality assurance”. I can easily come up with explanations for why these statistics can be skewed, like “Ubuntu-loving plebeians do not come to complain to elite Lemmy users about their puny problems”. I’m curious what you think?
It’s been out for 10 days? As an elite lemmy user, I’m not going to gamble my setup on any 10 day old release.
Sound strategy. So no arguing.
That said, Debian 13 has effectively been available for many months now. It did not just spring into the world as Debian is developed quite slowly and completely out in the open. The biggest difference when it becomes “official” is that a wider audience tries it.
So we cannot all just “wait and see”. Somebody has to use it and report back.
Thanks to differences in personalities and personal circumstances, there are usually enough people on the spectrum of risk aversion to test the pre-releases
Spoken with true wisdom!
Do you think the number of less wise Debian users has changed in recent years?
