Yes! I looked at the release notes more closely and noticed that they released the official stable Linux server. I had to try it and sure enough, it worked! I can finally ditch my windows servers and go all in running Debian.

This is why I run Debian. 😀

A somewhat anecdotal comment here, but I’ve using Debian stable as a daily driver for years, both at work and at home. Haven’t had any issues yet. It’s so stable it’s almost boring. 😀 However, this is fine since I can focus on getting stuff done instead of messing about with the distro.

Same here. Debian 12 at work and Debian 12 at home. I don’t understand the problems other people seem to have with Debian. It’s rock solid.

Absolutely! I play mainly two games. DayZ and Eve Online. Both run way faster on my Debian 12 rig compared to running on Windows 11.

Granted, it took a while to figure out how to self-sign the Nvidia driver (secure boot). But once that was sorted it was smooth sailing.

Oh, I’ve done my fair share of C++ and Python as well. But you got to agree with me that when you are on your fourth indented “if case” it’s time to step back and think about what you are trying to achieve. I mean it’s probably going to work, but probably also very hard to maintain that type of code.

As an embedded software developer that does linux kernel drivers I’ve come to love the tab size 8 indentation level.

I’m paraphrasing: “if your indentation level gets too deep, it’s time to rethink/refactor your function.”

And with tab 8 you’ll notice it rather quick if your function does too much/unrelated stuff.

A function should be short and do one thing only, if possible. It also makes unit testing easier if that’s a requirement.
