@El Cucuy Yeah, I was using Ubuntu until last year, where I just stuck with Unity. I tend to stick with a particular DE for a fairly extended period of time, until I have a reason to change. In the case of the switch from KDE to XFCE, it was resource usage.
@zebulon 1ᵉʳ, dit "le maudit" how are you managing upgrades,since so many years?always starting from scratch,when a new major is out,with a backup,or...?
When a new distro is out, I modify my /etc/apt/sources.list to change the distro name to the new one. Also, other files I have put in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, if needed. Then I do the same as above. AND reboot (two reboots if needed).
If I need to remake a full install (eg I doesn't work any more -- too much broken things), I use the same username and password, AND DO NOT format /home (that always use another partition than /, which will be formated). And I install on the old install.
@El Cucuy: 2 servers, one desktop. I keep the desktop on testing. One of the servers runs OpenMediaVault, which is tied to a specific Debian version. (Currently 11, will be upgraded when the next OMV is released.) I keep the other server on stable.
@zebulon 1ᵉʳ, dit "le maudit" I have a cheap VPS, but I run anything important on a local machine and port forward using SSH tunnels and a Wireguard VPN.
