Firefox on Debian stable is so old that websites yell at you to upgrade to a newer browser. And last time I tried installing Debian testing (or was it debian unstable?), the installer shat itself trying to make the bootloader. After I got it to boot, apt refused to work because of a missing symlink to busybox. Why on earth do they even need busybox if the base install already comes with full gnu coreutils? I remember Debian as the distro that Just Wroks™, when did it all go so wrong? Is anyone else here having similar issues, or am I doing something wrong?

      It can be tough through words to understand intent sometimes, and I to write sarcastic and dry, so no problem.

      Flatpak is helpful, it’s how I ran several programs before my work forced me to windows, it does have its place in the toolbox.
