After years of distro hopping, I had one to many updates which borked some driver & realized what I’m really looking for is my laptop should be boring stable appliance. Incredibly happy with it so far.

      And if I want to use my OS to feel cool? If I want to run programs whose new features I mostly don’t per se need but which give me an artificial sense of agency and make me feel less empty? If seeing a wall of updates whose contents I’ll rarely bother to inspect gives the little autism gremlin living in my brain an erection? What then, Debian fanboys?

        you can always add repositories that push updated software, or side load it as a .deb from a download

        you can also compile it from source yourself
