Debian Forked

Fucking finally. Maybe we can have an operating system without a political affiliation and deliberate back doors.

Used Slack for about 10 years, then used a Debian system and apt made me real lazy like.

It's tempting to switch back. Somehow systemd's problems are genuinely hilarious to me so I don't get mad when audio or network or something is turned off out of the blue with a log entry from systemd saying it meant to do that.

The bigger problem with Debian/anything is PulseAudio. Debian doesn't force you to use it but it will auto-install. Slack doesn't ship with Pulse, but it basically doesn't ship with anything. They direct you to supplement your packages with a repo that does include PulseAudio.

I would pay a lot of money for an ALSA+Phonon+Jack configuration that works without Pulse.

I get the impression these guys mean to do the same eventually. Or are you offended that they're stealing bandwidth or something?

Either way at least these guys aren't pulling from fucking Sid and calling that stable.
