And because of that, custom configurations are wonderfully easy to make, technical issues are rare, and the few issues you do experience are quite possible to solve. Which is why I settled on Debian.

It's a good thing that KDE 6 is coming out soon because holy cow, that's a big secondary version number.
I remember when gitlab.com was the most accessible alternative to GitHub out there, but it seems they're only interested in internal enterprise usage now. Their main page was already completely unreadable to someone not versed in enterprise tech marketing lingo, and now this.
Thankfully Gitea and Forgejo have gotten better in the meantime, with Codeberg as a flagship instance of the latter.
Debian needs a better installer. It'd be awesome if it had something more akin to Fedora/RHEL's Anaconda, or even just made Calamares the default (so long as it didn't install every single locale available like their live inages currently do).
No, but I do remember using the autism(at)a.gup.pe group. Not sure it still exists but I had some nice interactions there.
Used to, left recently. But the autistic community there was easily one of the best parts.
I tried this yesterday and it looks like a great alternative to Puppy Linux, or even its base distro AntiX. The software selection is pretty well thought out; I'd never heard of BadWolf but it sounds like an excellent project. Way heavier than the original DSL, but once it's stable it'll be an easy addition to my list of recommendations for really old PCs.
Though - to make a minor nitpick - I have to disagree with the games selection. I can think of plenty of lightweight X11 games in the Debian repo that I'd rather have than volleyball or TuxPuck. (XBill and Koules for example - lots more action in those.)
Another commenter suggested Tiny Core Linux and DSL2024, which are indeed as light as it gets, but you might find yourself limited in what you can do with them, and it's not necessary for those specs.
The next step up would be Q4OS Trinity and antiX. You should be able to get the Spotify app and your preferred web server running on either of those.
Kaya turned away from the scene, focusing on a distressed Kellan. “Nothing ever really changes, does it?” she asked. “It puts on a new coat and calls itself remade, but it’s all the same under the surface.”
Ravnica Remastered comes out next week. I am very funny.
I got the jab when I first read the story, but did not think it was intentional. Nice one.
If you're using Debian stable, hopefully you fully expect and want not to get major software updates until long after they release, in exchange for a more predictable system.
I'm excited for Plasma 6 but I'm very willing to wait for it, and stick to 5.27 as a daily driver for the next year.
