I've been using Debian as my daily driver on desktops, laptops and servers since Debian Potato (around the year 2000).

My desktops often last over 10 years on a single install, upgrading from one release to the next, without a hitch.

Debian is the best! For me it's the highest quality operating system with a super impressive governance organization behind it.

Cheers to another 30 more years!

Your New Year’s resolution doesn’t involve a fresh install? What?

Only semi-joking. Wish I could but the constantly declining quality of Microsoft software has made it an absolute.

I mean, that's about one release upgrade

Debian 6 was released in July, 2014. It is now August 2023 and stable is Debian 12.

So that would be 6 stable releases in nine years.
