Yes, the change of the Lemmy user base was on my list of possible causes

Thank you, I see what you mean. I think there’s a flaw in this logic, but I would rather not dive deeper into this topic.

they release unreleased and/or unstable software

Is this true even for the point LTS releases?

The first two pages of Linux@lemmy.ml show me 6 entries about such upgrades 🤷 Do you subscribe to this community?

Thank you! This selection bias was one of the possibilities I’ve considered…

Thanks to differences in personalities and personal circumstances, there are usually enough people on the spectrum of risk aversion to test the pre-releases

Just the first page of linux@lemmy.ml shows me three Debian 13 related posts beside mine

Thank you for answering the actual question! This is a new angle I haven’t considered before.

This is a wise strategy used by patient people!

Do you think the number of less wise Debian users has changed in recent years?

What other hoops should I have jumped through to avoid being perceived as “generate shade”? I thought I did my best.

Do you think servers have it easy compared to personal computers? No pesky audio/video cards, bluetooth, etc…

Spoken with true wisdom!

Do you think the number of less wise Debian users has changed in recent years?

Happy to hear that!

But what is your opinion about the amount of complaints you see recently?

Thank you! I guess I prefer Ubuntu’s safety net for upgrades.

Would this be a correct summary: you use Debian a lot but only after potential issues have been ironed out, so you don’t see problems; you see problems with Ubuntu when colleagues or customers jump on immature releases?

It was an exaggerated version of “the registered users of Lemmy are all the elite smart enough to avoid Ubuntu”

Doesn’t the upgrade manager of Debian disable them automatically, like Ubuntu does?

Certainly when you use a system on many hosts, you have more visibility into its issues. Do you also use Debian in a similar situation to compare them?

What do you think about the number of Debian complaints on Lemmy?

What do you think, is this release on par with previous ones regarding the amount of complaints?

This is pretty impressive anyway
