Is there any reason to run Debian as a user, as opposed to a sysadmin? I love running Debian on my servers, it's boring and rock-solid, but why should I run it on my PC instead of a derivative distro?
Debian Trixie drops 32-bit x86 support. Ubuntu dropped 32-bit support already earlier, which meant that lightweight Lubuntu and Xubuntu don't support it either. It's sad to see old hardware support getting dropped like that. They are still good machines as servers and desktop terminals.
Are there any good Linux distros left with 32-bit x86 support? Do I have to switch to NetBSD?
One lesson I learned from this latest upgrade: DON'T SKIP READING THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE UPGRADING.
I rebooted after upgrade and found myself dropped in a console-only environment. Turns out the (proprietary) drivers for my video card are not supported anymore. Now I'm on nouveau and it sucks.
My fault for having an Nvidia card, I guess, but an AMD equivalent is on its way.
