I can upvote this one in spirit. I started with a distro based on Slackware around 1998. I tried different ones like Mandrake, but went back to Slackware for a while. Then I tried Debian 2.2 in the early 2000 and stayed with it ever since.
I do have other distros installed on other computers, but I usually prefer those based on Debian.
I presume anyone old enough to start with slackware without auto dependency management and then use apt had a similar experience. I did :)
Apt blew my mind. It was becoming increasingly difficult to install and maintain a lot of software on Slackware, just for my personal computer. So when a friend showed me Debian and apt, everything was suddenly much much easier.
Oh, Debian a debian the debian debian Debian Debianing over debian debian to very Debian debian. Only Debian is debian to debian enough for debian. Debian is debian though. Debian…
Honestly, fair.
My only issue with it is the conflicting answers you get with apt vs apt-get vs whatever the 3rd option is, and the 6 different valid commands for upgrading your system, that also have conflicting answers on which is ‘correct’.
That, and yay -Sy is way more fun to type, and shorter.
if we’re talking about fun commands, my aliases for adding/removing packages are gimme/yeet.
