    Huh, I don’t quite remember this guy from Toy Story, but if you say he was there I believe you

    Can we just drop the codenames and simply use the numbers? What’s the point? Those names are a fucking mess, create more confusion than help new people and add no benefit to anything.

      You can just use “stable”, “testing”, and “unstable” if you prefer. And I don’t just mean in conversation I mean update /etc/apt and be done.

        The point is that if you say “Debian 9” it is immediately clear what version it is and what’s the context today as long as the person knows the stable is 12. If you say “Debian Stretch” it’s just noise, random words that mean nothing if the other person knows that stable is Bookworm.

          I run Debian and I don’t know what number or Toy Story character I use. I know I’m on testing, so I say that.

          Hm… Has anyone ever suggested they just do both? Wouldn’t that be amazing.

          Though I would prefer a naming scheme like Ubuntu, with the first letter incrementing. That would be more useful than the current names.
