I have been using Debian "unstable" for the last 15 years, which basically is just this: instead of releases all updates come incrementally, so the size of an update is typically only depending on how often I do my `apt-upgrade`.

I am an embedded software engineer, and I love everything about this FSM example. It shows that seemingly simple and binary things often have more complexity then meets the eye. I love using old fashioned finite state machines for implement

I second that. After decades of rolling stuff by hand I recently did a project based on LVGL. It's highly configurable, easy on the resources, properly documented and all. I had some troubles with getting the layout to do what I want,
