Debian + KDE Plasma got me to switch over from Mint. It just feels right.
There have been a LOT of updates recently though. Normally I update pretty often because part of the reason for using Debian is my expectation that an update has been pretty thoroughly vetted before it gets pushed out to stable, and that stability/reliability is one of the priorities of the distro.
I just hope that holds true, and that if LLMs are involved it’s those cases where they stumble upon an obscure security flaw that humans confirm.
Involving LLMs is not the problematic part, it’s having them write code that the maintainer doesn’t understand. Finding issues, suggesting optimizations, helping to write comments or commit messages are all perfect uses of LLMs for critical tools like rsync.
Sounds like the real issue is funding for the maintainers though.
