- hga 11y agoI use server/workstation parts for systems (not a laptop guy), so that's not so much of a problem, but can still be an issue with e.g. having to use a newer kernel that's not getting security update love. The update issue can be problematical with not all that many distros providing Long Term Support. systemd + Debian's short term support, one year after a new version plus a volunteer effort starting with squeeze is prompting me to abandon it and its famed stability between releases. I'm trying Alpine for Xen, with probably the current LTS Ubuntu without default systemd for development and who knows what else on VMs. Ah, yeah, the chaos in GUIs is not good, e.g. Gnome going off in a bogus direction after version 2. I'm happy enough for now with Xfce, but its got less mindshare.
