  • Would this be a correct summary: you use Debian a lot but only after potential issues have been ironed out, so you don’t see problems; you see problems with Ubuntu when colleagues or customers jump on immature releases?

  • It was an exaggerated version of "the registered users of Lemmy are all the elite smart enough to avoid Ubuntu"

  • Doesn’t the upgrade manager of Debian disable them automatically, like Ubuntu does?

  • Certainly when you use a system on many hosts, you have more visibility into its issues. Do you also use Debian in a similar situation to compare them?

    What do you think about the number of Debian complaints on Lemmy?

  • What do you think, is this release on par with previous ones regarding the amount of complaints?

  • This is pretty impressive anyway

  • Thank you, these are enlightening observations!

    From what you see online, is this release on par with the previous ones?

  • Sure, this is fair!

    Regarding this release, do you see more posts about it, compared with others?

  • Congrats on the mostly smooth sailing!

    What do you think of the experiences other people are having?

  • Wait, like in one step from 7 to 12? That would be amazing indeed!

  • I hope that you have found something that works better for you.

    What do you think about my observation though?

  • Of course it was tongue-in-cheek, I hope you didn’t take the "elite Lemmy users" seriously ;)

    While personal stories could be enlightening, I’m more curious about the statistics

  • I have switched a while ago and don't have specific examples at hand. I do use quite some technical questions for work, and struggled with getting answers to them from duckduckgo. Kagi barely ever needs coaxing, and when it fails I can't get results from google either.

  • I know the appeal of cynicism, but it’s not the best long-term strategy.

    Unless you rely on the goodwill of people running open-source searches like SearxNG, you’re paying for your search services or providing them with reasons to enshittify by blocking ads. On google, duckduckgo, and many others you pay with your attention to ads and with your data. They have the incentive to keep you longer on the search page to show you more data, contrary to your goals. For Kagi makers the way to get rich is much more straightforward: make good search and get many paying users.

  • I have a very different experience: duckduckgo only succeeded in simple queries for me, anything complex failed and I had to switch to google. And Kagi works for me even better than google.

  • Until you try kagi

  • I also had a few giggles clicking around
