Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had Debian stable go wrong in any application[server,desktop,laptops or raspian]. I use it everywhere and it is pretty fantastic. Despite Debian being phenomenal in many ways, it doesn't

I mean Raspberry Pi's are ARM and there are more than a few of these are running Linux(Raspian/Arch/etc/). Linux will run on pretty much anything given an ounce of driver support. I'm not that overly worried about L

Seems pretty clear by now that Mozilla is on a path to just slowly transform Firefox into Chrome or try to abandon it 'to the community' like they did with Thunderbird. Either way they've clearly signalled that they could no

Mac updates are definitely problematic, but I honestly can't remember the last time running apt dist-upgrade has ever broken anything on Debian.

Excel is the appropriate tool for one-off adhoc analysis. When something needs to be regularly produced, then and only then should it be moved to a formal BI solution. People have a lot of questions and Excel is an approachable tool for sma
