  • My experience was different: after using Linux for a decade, I had to use a company MacBook for a year, and I was happy to return to my "normal" laptop afterward. Even though it couldn’t run Deus Ex like MacBook.

  • Experiences differ, so I’d prefer it were labeled "failed senior developer" or at least "burned-out senior developer"

  • Countless teams are misshaped, but the usual unwritten objectives of a senior developer in a team also lie beyond lone development

  • Let's see how many people agree with me that both poor communication and alcohol are not really signs of professional seniority

  • I thought Mozilla also has a separate app for passwords

  • In my experience the kagi translator was the best

  • I will really appreciate the irony when it turns out that it’s the new implementation in Rust that is correct

  • I’m not a native English speaker, but neither people nor other robots have problems understanding me - in person or over a microphone. Speech Note hadn’t shown good results, unfortunately. I really wanted to use it, because on my Android phone I use voice input all the time.

  • For Framework, they just need to release a screen. They did that for 13, and you can just replace it.

  • Your words made me look again into the documentation:

    If your APT configuration mentions additional sources besides bookworm, or if you have installed packages from other releases or from third parties, then to ensure a reliable upgrade process you may wish to begin by removing these complicating factors.

    I hadn’t realized that "removing these complicating factors" meant removing these packages, not just disabling their repositories. The wording is terribly vague.

    Now I don’t say anything against your experience and the conclusions it has led you to.

    But my experience was that only repositories were automatically disabled and packages stayed in their place. The upgrades went through smoothly, things did not break. Were I forced to uninstall these packages and look for their replacements afterwards, I’d be quite annoyed. Maybe not as much as you, when you were forced to reinstall the system.

    I’ll conclude for myself that both paths can lead to happy outcomes as well as to poor outcomes. Thank you for sharing!

  • Well, people do not follow instructions and their systems get broken 🤷 To a much larger extent than an orphaned package

  • I had smooth sailing with Ubuntu for many years, but I don't judge other people's choices

  • Wow, what a catch! I should really pay more attention to people… Okay, this person having a really terrible upgrade would perfectly explain what I’m seeing.

    Here’s a gold star for winning this topic 🌟

  • Is this worse than an upgrade which breaks the system?

  • What do you think of the observation that [email protected] had a surprising amount of reports of bungled upgrades?

  • Oh, that’s bad luck… Sorry to hear that!

  • Yes, the change of the Lemmy user base was on my list of possible causes

  • Thank you, I see what you mean. I think there’s a flaw in this logic, but I would rather not dive deeper into this topic.

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    All the troubles with Debian upgrade
