You can always use APT Pinning to grab GIMP and its dependencies from testing without touching the rest of the system.
Or you can just run testing or sid as your base system. My gaming rig is based on testing but pulling Mesa and video derivers from experimental and sid and I haven’t had any issues with it. Been running it for about 2 years now this way.
They could be, but 2M new Brazilian users after Twitter’s block there actually seems quite low and definitely credible.
Ah NFS… It’s so good when it works! When it doesn’t though, figuring out why is like trying to navigate someone else’s house in pitch dark.
Upstream Firefox already have them on nightly. It should be released pretty soon.

That’s great! I’ll give it a go again soon.
Whilst this is fair criticism, I was responding to complaints about the UX in other CADs.
Yeah I’ve been meaning to try FreeCAD in anger but every time I try it out I find it clumsy, awkward and limited. I’m hoping the new organisation will allow them to get more funding, I’d really love an actually good open source CAD.
Thanks for the detailed report! 💪
That’s on the free license. Fusion360, to which this thread is offering an alternative, has the same limitation.
I found Onshape to be quite nice. It was relatively easy to translate skills from Fusion to it after a few YouTube videos.
The web app works fine. The desktop app is Electron-based but works fine. Yes, it is all centralised on their servers.
In which sense do you fear it will be invasive? Other than Slack seeing your messages on Slack, I don’t see what else you could be worrying about. They will always have that kind of access regardless of what you do locally since it’s not E2EE, so really this question just feels like paranoia.
Don’t say things on Slack that you don’t want Slack to know about. That should be all, really.
If you don’t want Slack to see any of your messages, don’t use it.
I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge that these dryers lack airflow. There are tons of printable wedges in printables.com and thingiverse.com to keep the lid open.
This alone speeds up drying massively. Adding a small fan to the opening might be even better but I never found it necessary.
The main “instability” I’ve found with testing or sid is just that because new packages are added quickly, sometimes you’ll have dependency clashes.
Pretty much every time the package manager will take care of keeping things sane and not upgrading a package that will cause any incompatibility.
The main issue is if at some point you decide to install something that has conflicting dependencies with something you already have installed. Those are usually solvable with a little aptitude-fu as long as there are versions available to sort things out neatly.
A better first step to newer packages is probably stable with backports though.
Not much use to go Ubuntu or Mint, unless you have specific issues with Debian that don’t happen with those. Even then, it may be one apt install away from a fix.
If you want to try out BSD, power to you. I wouldn’t experiment on a backup computer though, unless by backup you just mean you want to have the spare hardware and will format it with Debian if you ever need to make it your main computer anyway.
Otherwise, just run Debian!
Stability is no longer an advantage when you are cherry picking from Sid lol.
This makes no sense. When 95% of the system is based on Debian stable, you get pretty much full stability of the base OS. All you need to pull in from the other releases is Mesa and related packages.
Perhaps the kernel as well, but I suspect they’re compiling their own with relevant parameters and features for the SD anyway, so not even that.
Why would they manually package them? Just grab the packages you need from testing or sid. This way you keep the solid Debian stable base OS and still bring in the latest and greatest of the things that matter for gaming.
I would get a CAD model of the PS5, import it into fusion and design the part around it either by extruding to it or using it as a cut tool.
I’ve been running a 7900XTX for months without issue. Only thing that was missing was some stuff around power setting, fan curve etc but even that I think has been fixed in recent kernels.
On servers, I agree. OP just wants a recent version of GIMP though. Production can mean many things, and dogmas are never the answer.
