Debian Development Discussion • Re: [Discussion] So ... Debian 12 ... Nightmare or Glorious Bliss? (or you just wish to post ITT with ellipsis ...)

Things change. What we knew doesn't always help. I'm happy that Debian helped me return to how it knew it worked 40 years ago.
I once ask 'how do you use it'
I answered 'however you program it.'
That's what I mean by going vertical. Learn a tool set, and make it happen.

Many, if not most, view it all as a consumer commodity which includes demands and expectations. I view Debian as the Lego super set it is. It used to be a 1000pc set with imagination required, now it's a specific thing, one thing, with instructions.

I hope Debian continues for a long time, as a tool set holder. There may be a conflict in the fact I don't wish it ever to become a commodity. That's down the hall, in the derivative wing.

So the terminal for me is only an evil necessary when the situation demands it

I chose tickle as the toolkit to make my special purpose gui's. Nearly all my repetitive cli actions have a tab in my herder.tk program, reminiscent of an XP era tweaker tool. Instead of clonezilla, qemu-img has most things covered in a tab, full cow image management fills in between virt-manager and virsh, even works remotely with ssh -X to perform its magic on other computers. The journal tab is more recent, searchable, vacuums, etc. Too much to list, too dangerous to publish. The user of such a gui should be right there ready to modify the code. I do so weekly, almost daily sometimes as it expand with my singular vision. Tickle excels with it's non-compilation and lack of need to refactor every new wheel cycle from the Johnie come lately's.
