1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    They might include it. Or they might not. If they don't have time to test it, they just won't, and you may wind up with 5.27 for longer than just the next year if you're waiting for debian's stable repos.

    debian's neovim is on version 0.7.2 (even in trixie/sid, you have to go to experimental to get to 0.9.5, which is the current). If there are any bugfixes between 0.7.2 and 0.9.5 that aren't security backported... too bad. You aren't getting it any time soon, because it's not landing in Trixie, and it's not guaranteed to land in whatever is after that either.

    Debian's "stable" refers to "predictable" like you said. Which includes bugs being predictable. Not resolved. Predictable. And if you have a bug that crashes your system, that bug will stay there unless it's a "security" issue. Predictable crashing. NOT the "doesn't crash" that people seem to think "stable" means.

    I've never had a bug in Debian stable. Not a single one.

    I did. Something about the combination of Debian, KDE, Wayland and nvidia drivers made the system unstable.
    After googling the issue for a bit, the consensus was that that just isn't a good combination.
    So I switched distros and now everything works.
