You'll get some Arch user saying "You have versions…?"

@nixCraft but this is also why I’ve been struggling all day to get #neovim 0.9 on my Debian 12 servers.

@nixCraft I left Debian after years of bugs went unfixed that cost me a lot of money, sweat, and tears. Just one example, Debian: "we're going to set up your server to auto-reply and unsubscribe from all spam!"

Even more stable than so-called enterprise distributions if you ask me.

@nixCraft only thing I really disliked is that the Gnome Shell dash is at the bottom instead of the left. Luckily there's an extension for that.

Neat, running sudo apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs before the standard sudo apt full-upgrade ensures nothing is removed.

I've been manually running apt install dpkg apt apt-tools before these just in case the installation logic has improved.

I still have to do this for one unicorn of a server, and this meme gives me calm reassurance. Thank you!

My distro at least changes the theme for minor releases. :-)

@nixCraft it's worse.
Virtualbox guest additions doesn't work. Some sources say it's because of transition from X11 to wayland.
Probably not related to that, Vbox shared folders are not accessible, either.
And system updates will show some progress lines after reboot. Feels Windows-ish.

I stopped using CentOS and started using Debian ~2012 when I discovered you could do an upgrade on production servers with one reboot.

CentOS (at least at that time) required bringing the virtual server to a halt, adding the new CentOS image, bringing the virtual server back up, and then doing a full install of the new CentOS version. And it always had to be done overnight while most of our customer base was offline. Not fun.
