The sort of program that once set up, just ticks along without fuss or bother forever.
For me, as I’m replacing the vms today which I set up five years ago and haven’t needed to touch since;
- HAProxy
- KeepaliveD
Not easy to learn, but once they’re running, they both go on forever.
It’s a blessing and a curse how stable it is. I think less bleeding edge is better but when shit like audio and GPU are fucked they’re pretty much always fucked until dist-upgrade time.
