Is we that a lot but, how bad is it really? Does it affect you (if you use Debian)? Aren't there ways to install newer versions of most things that actually matter?

What do you mean by "out of date" exactly?

Not new

And what do you mean by "new" exactly?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 2 hours ago

It's really a vibe. I see people complaining about it all the time about Debian, so I'd expect those people to answer based on their own definition of new/old and talk about problems (or lack of) it's brought them.

So then your original question isn't 'How "out of date" is Debian really?' but 'If you complain that Debian is "out of date", what do you mean?'

It's so out of date that Deb and Ian are no longer together

(...this is actually true, not just a joke)

I assume that's where the name came from given the context. Never knew that.

Yep, learned it recently from a list of things that are, surprisingly, named after real people. Deb and Ian eventually got married but are now divorced.
