Install a Linux distro, never update it again. Nothing will break and it will work for years :alway_rember:

@nerdtronics @safiuddinkhan @hacknorris I have Efika MX, with some Debian that I think is even older than that 😅I've built a few things from sources, but not that much, like gcc, curl, git, tor, openvpn, maybe a few others.I can't really update it as it still has kernel 2.6 and I'm too incompetent and lazy to make a device tree for a newer one. And I still use this thing daily — it has squid running on it 😳

@nerdtronics If all the functionality you want is a panic() on boot, I guess?

@nerdtronics @m0xee @hacknorris I though don't need any distro which rarely gets an update... lol debian is already enough painful for me and had to rely on flatpaks and 3rd party repos to compensate the older packages in debian stable.. lol

@nerdtronics never update it? No you just throw the package manager away. Why don't you install guix and it will work for years? :stallman_thaenkin:
