Red Hat’s recent decision to restrict the source code for its enterprise Linux build has led open-source projects big and small to come up with creative strategies to continue to serve their users.
@mimichuu_ Yea I have a few off the top of my head…
Try to update as regularly as possible.
Use “netselect-apt” to get the best mirrors for APT.
APT supports parallel downloads, so enable them straight after installation.
APT caches downloaded packages by default, which can consume disk space over time. Make sure to clean it every once in a while with “sudo apt-get clean”.
@mimichuu_ @exu Debian is a rock solid choice, & one you’ll never regret making…
Any tips for when I do switch, by the way?
