@blinry I can think of a few such as mint, Asafoetida, Garam masala to name a few. I am not sure how well the fennel and other licorice kind of things would work either.

@niconiconi because... Canonical

@Sycaid I think MbP is usually done in secret. This seems to be pretty wide open and for some reason there is a doctor involved as well. I get what you are saying, I just think it is not the correct terminology.

@joseph GNU/Linux Debian 11 (Bullseye)

Because my prior was GNU/Linux 10 (Buster)

And before that was GNU/Linux (9).....

At some point there was an Ubuntu, a Lubuntu, and Kubuntu, but I am not a fan of the Cannonical commercial arm. I still put Lubuntu on old machines before I sell them.

Redhat/Fedora/CentOS and all that ilk should be my favored because they are based in my state, but I don't really care for their commercial arm, IBM.

Arch, LFS, Gentoo all felt like much more work than I cared to to in order to maintain a stable working system. Arch was fun enough to play with but everything eventually became a hassle.

OpenSUSE was okay, but just never really anything special to make me love or hate it.

If I go back far enough I remember Slackware 0.97 back in the early 90's.

Do we consider ChromeOS or Android to be versions?

Once you find one you like, stick with it. Sometimes it annoys me that not everything has a fully FOSS part available, specifically drivers and such. Or "programs" like Cinnelera, Eclipse, and so forth. But if I need specific tools I can usually figure out how to install it.

Also, once you get used to a package system like "apt" the thought of moving to a different one like pacman or whatever else is out there, just feels like unnecessary stress.

@nergal @OpenComputeDesign Depends on what it does. Anything depending or serving something else will have to change as that things changes. Bug fixing is not the only reason for software to change.

@sugar probably shouldn't be a "pair of underwear". More accurately would be pair of underpants. Pants, and pantaloons were a 2 -piece ordeal (more like socks) that you put one on each side and tied them around your waist. It was later that they became made as 1 attached to each other.

@niconiconi just a little recursion to make things interesting. Blown stack?

@kat I am starting to quick-cull things I don't care to see, as well as stuff I don't feel I have anything to contribute to. Life's too short to wade through stuff that you don't care for.
