1. gerlos Linux , Debian , GNU's Not Unix

   looking for a #rolling #alternative to #kubuntu, I'm trying #aptosid !GNU !linux, wondering how much #unstable is !debian unstable...

     @gerlos I read that as "trolling". Whoops. No idea about debian though, sorry.

     Thanks everyone, but these days I'm too #lazy to try a distro not based on !Debian... really love #apt

     @gerlos Have you looked at Linux Mint Debian Edition? It is a rolling Debian-based distro.

     @gerlos I'm using Sid(unstable) since two years ago on my laptop. With apt-listbugs, you can get ride off grave/serious bugs. Stable enough

     @gerlos Debian #sid has worked well for me for the past few years. I haven't had much of an issue with bugs ... serious bugs are rare.

     How often do you dist-upgrade your !Debian #sid system? I'm not sure I want to download hundreds of MB of updates weekly...

     Isn't it #LMDE almost the same of !Debian #testing? Is it different? Also seems to me that their blog is too calm... are them working on it?

     @gerlos I use aptitude safe-upgrade two/three times a week normally, but, is my diary use sistem, not for productivity

     @gerlos Only do a dist-upgrade or full-upgrade when a big change is coming, like complete plasma-desktop, i.e.

     @gerlos #LMDE is based on #Debian testing, but when I was using it, it was different. Currently running Debian-based Mepis with old packages

     @gerlos Same with me and Pacman. Can hardly work with anything else.
