| He said it: because it isn't in Debian repos. |

| That's an odd reason. There's many ways to get packages these days without being dependent on your distro's repos (like using brew or Nix, or just grabbing the binaries directly). Ghostty is a very popular terminal right now, so it's a shame that the author left it out of the comparison. |

| One of many reasons I left Debian behind for desktop things over a decade ago. I love the project and appreciate the history, but things can get pretty long in the tooth after awhile. Flatpaks help. |

| ▲ | giancarlostoro 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | I wish Debian had an Arch style bleeding edge fork. Till then I've been happy using Arch, I had my last straw when a program needed a more up to date GLIBC on Debian. That's such a can of worms to resolve, I just went ahead and gave Endeavour (Arch based) a try and havent gone back or changed distros ever since. If someone ever makes a Debian distro that is bleeding edge and supports Nvidia drivers (basically a more bleeding edge Ubuntu) I'd be all ears. | | |
