    Debian is like my wife, I’m always faithful to her!

    Ok, can you keep a secret? I have cheated on her a few times. I tried redhat before I met Debian, but didn’t get very far because of circular dependencies (it was the 90s and package management was new). I never used another Linux and wanted to experiment a little!

    I compiled Linux From Scratch, but it was too high maintenance. I tried Gentoo, but it’s not something I’d put on a friend’s computer, ya know what I mean? And yeah, I admit it, I had a fling with Debian’s little sister, Ubuntu. But it was basically like Debian, but a little more sexy but also a little more flakey.

    But in the end, I always go back to Debian. Solid, dependable, and low maintenance. Just upgraded to bookworm this weekend (because I’m always behind on dist upgrades LOL). Updated the apt sources ran recommended the apt commands with no issues. Only noticeable difference is the grub and login screens are a different shade of blue.
