It's only complicated for the first time.
My setup is running just fine for 5+ years.
Compared to when I use Ubuntu, have to upgrade every 6 months and suddenly I got headache because all custom configuration doesn't work anymore or custom repository doesn't work anymore because the maintainer is missing.
Slackware is fine, but Patrick and a bunch of guys is only a small team, and custom package can only do so much. Bless him and may Guinness always flow freely.
Debian is problematic, because their libraries are usually old.
- favadi 9y agoUbuntu LTS is supported for 5 years, so you don't have to update every 6 months.
- btschaegg 9y agoExcept if you are relying on current changes in certain software for your development work - current meaning newer than two years ago. Unless, of course, you add a public PPA that randomly stops working in the future and/or will screw up your next distupgrade.
