i am literally cackling 🤣

I feel like this can actually be a bit of an underappreciated thing though. While I realize it is an issue with some security measures in particular, in general I think updates for things come way too frequently, are often insufficiently tested, and etc. People have too much of a mindset that newer is always automatically better and everything must be fresh or it's just bad. I'd rather updates were infrequent with heavy testing and changes instead of frequent with minor changes.

Oof, too real: on Arch running kernel 6.6.5, WiFi brought EVERYTHING to a screeching, unusable halt. Like I literally couldn’t get the system to stably shut down. So I made sure I had backups, figured I’d had a good run at the bleeding edge, and installed LMDE.
Kernel 6.1.64 (or in Debian parlance, “6.1.0-14-amd64”) was great. 6.1.66 (or “6.1.0-15-amd64”) backported the WiFi-hangs-EVERYTHING glitch. 6.1.67 (or presumedly once adopted, “6.1.0-16-amd64”) has been approved for Debian proposed-updates and fixes everything 6.6.6 did, but its urgency has been dropped from critical to medium. I’ll just be over here, either booting an old kernel or using another machine entirely.

It is called Debian stable for a reason, if you want frequent updates a.k.a rolling release try Debian unstable/sid.

Debian stable is digital concrete. And this is exactly why I use it.

true 🤣🤣🤣
