Well the solution here is to just use the superior distro, naturally.

This post will surely upset nobody.

the superior distro

Finally, puppy linux is getting the recognition it deserves

[–] zaph@sh.itjust.works 67 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I ordered something from someone awhile back and it came with a free flash drive in the shape of a credit card. It had pictures of puppies on it so naturally it's a puppy linux drive now.

This is entirely irrelevant but hopefully someone gets a smile out of it.

flash drive shaped like a credit card

Wait, what?

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thin, credit-card-sized USB drives are a popular promotional gimmick because they have a practical use but also have a large surface area for promoting your brand. Most often given out as vendor gifts.

Weird, but interesting!

If you donate to the FSF, you get a member card with pre-installed Linux.

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 9 months ago

and GNU?

I think you mean Hannah Montana Linux.

Puppy's awesome. I've used it on a laptop so old I had to install a bootloader in the MBR so it would boot from USB. It ran like a dream.

Red Hat 5.0 for lyfe.

Kernel 2.0.36 represent! ✊

When did TempleOS start supporting .deb files?

[–] Asudox@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Agreed. Debian Linux is just a children distro with a fibonacci logo that god created.

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 51 points 9 months ago (2 children)

You're right! If a deb file exists then surely it's in the AUR. ABS will repackage it seamlessly for you and then install it directly with Pacman.

Btw I use Arch

BRB. Sharpening my teeth.

is there a way to make it work like a rolling release of sorts? i'd want to use debian, but i don't want to stay with old packages and wait 2 years for an update

[–] Wulff@sh.itjust.works 13 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You could use debian testing. It's a somewhat "rolling-release" model. You will get more up to date packages with more stability too.

You could also use unstable, but I wouldn't recommend it personally.

Edit: if you really need the most up to date version of some packages, you can pin them to use the unstable repo. This would be a pretty reasonable solution.

[–] lwe@feddit.de 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

You could just go with Debian unstable. I rarely ran into issues while running it in a rolling release style.

Debian testing might also work for you. But it will have a freeze window before each release.

[–] this_is_router@feddit.de 2 points 9 months ago

As will have debian unstable. That's the way it goes, for a few months every few years it slows down until the new stable gets released. Testing is just 10 days after unstable to avoid the biggest bugs.

Never had big problems with debian unstable in 15 years though, as long as you use apt-listbugs

[–] hadi@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

sparky Linux is based on Debian and it has stable and rolling release

[–] azvasKvklenko@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

Most of such packages, be it deb rpm or really whatever, have their AUR entry, install and run fine on Arch.

Savage. 💣
