Ok, I understand what you meant, thanks.

Basically, after I’ve read all of that, it’s clear as day that security is not a priority on Testing. And while band-aid solutions do exist, it’s simply not designed to be secure.

Yeah, I wouldn't run it in a production environment.

Sure, but even in those "few cases" Testing will get them soon.

I did read at some point that Testing may receive security updates later than stable, might be in those cases in which backports come straight from unstable.

I don’t recommend going for (Debian’s/Devuan’s) testing (branch) as it targets a peculiar niche that I fail to understand; e.g. it doesn’t receive the security backports like Stable does nor does it receive them as soon as Unstable/Sid does. Unstable/Sid could work, but I would definitely setup (GRUB-)Btrfs + Timeshift/Snapper to retain my sanity.

From https://backports.debian.org/ :

Backports are packages taken from the next Debian release (called "testing"), adjusted and recompiled for usage on Debian stable

So by definition, security backports in stable are present in Testing in the form of regular packages, right?

I remember having some issue like that, but I'm not sure if this was the fix.

Try unchecking "Show desktop notifications when the song changes" on Spotify's settings (right now it's under the Display section).

Makes sense, thanks.

New to Linux: in which case would you stick with an "old-old-stable" release?

Software incompatibility?

The Debian Long Term Support (LTS) Team hereby announces that Debian 10 "buster" support will reach its end-of-life on June 30, 2024, nearly five years after its initial release on July 6th, 2019.

Starting in July, Debian will not provide further security updates for Debian 10. A subset of "buster" packages will be supported by external parties. Detailed information can be found at Extended LTS.

The Debian LTS Team will prepare afterwards the transition to Debian 11 "bullseye", the current oldstable release. Thanks to the combined effort of different teams including the Security Team, the Release Team, and the LTS Team, the Debian 11 life cycle will also encompass five years. To make the life cycle of Debian releases easier to follow, the related Debian teams have agreed on the following schedule: three years of regular support plus two years of Long Term Support. The LTS Team will take over support from the Security and the Release Teams on August 14, 2024, three years after the initial release on August 14, 2021. The final point update release for "bullseye" will be published soon after the final Debian 11 Security Advisory (DSA) will be issued.

Debian 11 will receive Long Term Support until August 31, 2026. The supported architectures remain amd64, i386, arm64 and armhf.

Funny story. 50 years ago, to this very day, a revolution occurred in which Portugal took down its dictatorship.

The following day some public administrator/manager sent a letter complaining about people missing work!

Translation after the letter

Your Excellency Director General

I inform Your Excellency that yesterday, April 25, 1974, several employees were absent from work, claiming that a revolution had occurred in the country.

I clarify that this revolution was not authorized by superiors, and no justification was seen for the absences, especially as the service was considerably delayed.

As the current legislation does not provide for absences due to the occurrence of revolutions, I submit the matter to your high discretion, in the certainty that it will deserve due attention.

Fellow PT-PT ISO user here. And although I use PT-PT in the OS, both my mechanical keyboards' physical layout is DE ISO, which has most special symbols in the same place. (finding DE keyboards is easier)

I've considered switching to UK ISO before. Typing brackets "[] {}" and a semicolon ";" is harder in PT-PT. Especially the curly brackets {}, which are really awkward to type with my small hands.

I don't agree with the problem they aim to solve with those goals.

But today it takes several years of mastering tools and frameworks to get to that stage. HTML First principles should allow people to unlock that feeling, and level of mastery, much earlier on in their coding journey.

The onboarding process can be made easier for devs new to the project (junior or senior) with decent documentation. Just enough install/build the project in their local machine and understand the gist of the technologies.

I'm running a 6700XT and weirdly enough it pre-compiled in Linux but not in Windows.

It's really stuttery for a while in Windows, with low GPU usage and erratic frequency, until it normalizes.

I'm getting none of that in Linux, smooth from the start in-game. Only getting some weird fps fluctuation in the start menu.
