Maybe for your specific use - yes. And maybe your place of work only runs stable distributions for many years.
But I have a feeling for the vast majority of people this is why snap was invented, to not be stuck on old software for a few years.
- bee_rider 3y agoThe comment you responded to has lots of siblings.
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoI am not sure what you mean, but when I responded it was a single commet, no replies.
- bee_rider 3y agoSiblings, as in comments at the same level in the comment tree. A bunch of other people have responded to the original comment starting with: > I don't know anyone who uses Debian and actually sticks with their packaged apps. With various indications that they more or less actually do stick to the packaged apps.
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoOh, you could have said so. Anyway, I for one don’t think that staying with for example nginx for two years on the same version is a good idea. Even if they fix security issues, you still miss out on features. And this is for lots of other packages.
- huggingmouth 3y agoIt's a tradeoff between stability and new features. You obviously favor features, we favor stability. It's as simple as that.
