As up to date as Debian

(Obviously a joke, Debian is great)

Debian is caught up or even past Ubuntu nowadays, shits flipped fr, yo.

Recent update big update or just good maintenance?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Think it's been maintenance, but the real difference is packages aren't ancient like they used to be, they're mostly up to date.

Stuff like the desktop are basically generic compared to Ubuntu's customization, but they moved to wayland, pipewire, all that stuff which is violent radical by past debian standards.

Depends what/when you mean.

Debian 12 was released in June and has some newer, and some older, packages than Ubuntu 24.04. For example Ubuntu has LibreOffice 24.2.2 while Debian has 7.4.5.

Debian testing currently has a similar distribution to Ubuntu 24.10, though over the next 6 months it'll pull ahead of that, but Ubuntu 25.04 will likely have on average newer packages than Debian testing until its beta freeze.

Debian unstable has always had newer packages than the others.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
