It's nice that there is a work-around. This time. And the next time. I for one use System76' Pop!OS derivative (which is great!), but that might ultimately play out like a RHEL <-> CentOS/Rocky/Alma drama.
It will take another while, but it looks like Debian is our last hope for community linux (in apt ecosystem).
- Filligree 3y agoArch, Gentoo and NixOS also exist…
- krylon 3y agoTrue, but the GP wrote "community linux (in apt ecosystem)" Arch, Gentoo, and NixOS don't use apt. However, neither does OpenSUSE, which is probably a better choice for non-technical users.
- mikepurvis 3y agoNormally when people talk about pro/enterprise/premium, what they're really talking about is long term support for a "stable" release, since that the thankless backporting work that you need to pay people to do. And those are all rolling distros, so I don't think they're a fit for anyone with that class of enterprise needs. NixOS has supported releases, but as far as I'm aware, each one gets less than a year— 22.11 was just deprecated in favour of the current 23.05 and the upcoming 23.11.
