Shit, just linux.

Use this community for anything related to linux for now, if it gets too huge maybe there will be some sort of meme/gaming/shitpost spinoff. Currently though… go nuts

You want to know what the store actually has in stock before buying.

actually, every morning I wake, I update first thing, so I guess, I found it somewhat useless

You don’t have to do this. Run something like apticron if you want to make sure you don’t miss security updates or want everything on the latest version all the time.

actually, I like updating :') I have some free time and I like looking at package names (that's a call for help)
