Here’s another one for you, my reading comprehension-challenged Internet friend.
macOS is actually UNIX 03 certified. It doesn’t get any more UNIX than that. 😉

You might be right. In either case, the argument stands but thanks for the correction.
I wouldn’t want your help anyway, considering you think your reading comprehension is better than mine. 😆
You responded to “macOS is UNIX” with “it’s not open source”. I’m just illustrating how these 2 things are not correlated.
In any case, macOS is based on OpenBSD. Even the original BSD, which OpenBSD is based on, was not initially open source.
Everything you said was a straw man.
UNIX != open source.
In fact, most flavours have historically been commercial and proprietary.
The main “instability” I’ve found with testing
or sid
is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.
Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.
The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude
-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.
A better first step to newer packages is probably stable
with backports
though.
Debian.
Proxmox (which is heavily Debian) if the use case is to host VMs and/or LXC containers. Debian on those.
Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install
away from a fix.
If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.
Otherwise, just run Debian!
Stability is no longer an advantage when you are cherry picking from Sid lol.
This makes no sense. When 95% of the system is based on Debian stable
, you get pretty much full stability of the base OS. All you need to pull in from the other releases is Mesa and related packages.
Perhaps the kernel as well, but I suspect they’re compiling their own with relevant parameters and features for the SD anyway, so not even that.
Why would they manually package them? Just grab the packages you need from testing
or sid
. This way you keep the solid Debian stable
base OS and still bring in the latest and greatest of the things that matter for gaming.
I don’t think I’ve ever come across a DNS provider that blocks wildcards.
I’ve been using wildcard DNS and certificates to accompany them both at home and professional in large scale services (think hundreds to thousands of applications) for many years without an issue.
The problem described in that forum is real (and in fact is pretty much how the recent attack on Fritz!Box users works) but in practice I’ve never seen it being an issue in a service VM or container. A very easy way to avoid it completely is to just not declare your host domain the same as the one in DNS.
If they’re all resolving to the same IP and using a reverse proxy for name-based routing, there’s no need for multiple A records. A single wildcard should suffice.
Man, that brings back memories! XGH is the OG agile methodology.
Game mode is Big Picture running on a gamescope-only session.
You can get that on other distros, like ChimeraOS does [0] but it takes a bit of work and some options will probably not work the way you expect them.
Particularly anything to do with Networking config or Bluetooth will probably not be present at all.
That phrase used to drive me nuts. It’s so obvious its meaning is conveyed a lot better by flipping it around!
Get a Viture One and install the XR Gaming plugin for Decky.
“Quantum security” is a fairly widely accepted term in the industry and it has meaning.
Other terms with the same or similar meaning are quantum cryptography or post-quantum security.

This is about them adding post-quantum encryption, which means encryption that could survive an attack using quantum computers.
This is computer science and mathematics, not pseudoscientific crap.
I might pick it back up some day but at the moment I have other projects going on at the moment.
I’m still using Proxmox myself but unfortunately it’s all fairly manually configured.
Linux is quite an oddball in the UNIX world, tbh. It’s the most popular these days, and the one I’m most familiar with, but most Linux OSs are a lot more GNU than they are UNIX.
