Exactly where is Debian "not working"?

• rurban 1y ago
  Almost daily at work. Always have to verify with my fedora machines that it is indeed debian/ubuntu and not upstream.

    debian or ubuntu? I have had terrible experience in the past with ubuntu breaking randomly, but debian has been fairly stable for a desktop machine

      At home with debian testing. At work I usually have to spend 6 hours per day to fix random Ubuntu issues on code which works fine on Fedora. Usually Ubuntu 20 and 22.

        It's Debian testing; a rough experience is practically expected. I say this as a person who daily-drives Sid. That's some hyperbole. If I spent 6 hours a day fixing some distro's issues, that would be my whole job. I would begin questioning whether I'm "holding it wrong" or if it is the wrong tool for the job.

          Exactly. It's the wrong tool for the job. Europeans love Ubuntu/Debian, but it's shit

            That's an opinion (a wrong one IMO, but you do you). It's hard for me to comment because when I tried using Fedora (maybe 15 years ago, tbh) I couldn't even play MP3s out of the box, so I never revisited it. I also left Ubuntu because of their shenanigans, but if your code cannot run on Debian, your code is shit.

              When the python3.10 package has the SSIZE_CLEAN error enforced, and one of their packages has no SSIZE_CLEAN definition before including Python.h (python3-bluez) that's not my fault. That's just yesterday's shenanigans. But it happens everyday
