Torrents seeded for a month results

These are the only distros that matter to me, so the only ones i seed. Just thought it was interesting that arch based are the most popular. :wink:

It’s just my own opinion, no more, no less, but I tend to feel that people talk about the Ubuntus/Debian Linuxes as if the Arches don’t even exist, the same way Windows/Mac people used to talk as if Linux didn’t even exist.

I don’t totally mind, though. Because if Arch stays a “secret” to those types, then they won’t show up in huge numbers asking foolish “make-it-like-Microsoft-Windows” statements grouped with nube questions. I might sound like a jerk saying that, but I really feel it’s true. And I used to use the 'Buntus/Mac/Windows.

But it’s not a secret. On reddit and youtube and so on Arch and its derivatives are the trendy new thing (although NixOs if you really want to stand out). It’s surely the likes of Debian which are ignored in these places.

And if you’re worried about the influx of clueless Windows users, they are already here.

I’m kinda glad to hear that.
I usually only hear about Linux Mint and Ubuntu and Debian on a lot of other forums and on YouTube.

People seem to claim that they’re good for beginners, but I feel that’s a mistake because in my eyes those distros are harder to maintain.

But about your torrent study, interesting results.

I agree. I’ve been running my server with debian for years and I still am never sure I have everything updated.

how are you not sure about that?

Lol. I know. I’ll have to figure this all out before I upgrade to Trixie.

sudo apt upgrade, done

I built an openmediavault NAS a month or so ago from some old hp desktop, started qbittorrent-nox in an lxc container. The nas doesn’t run all the time it turns off automatically at night and I only start it with WOL when I need it. Here are my results.

debian upgrades are never simple, but it is possible, there is always an extensive guide on the website about a complete upgrade, but it is long and kind of expected that you did the previous upgrade correctly. I only did an upgrade once, took me half a day. If it’s possible I just do a clean install to make sure.

I just added the newest cachy on 6/28, and it’s already a bigger ratio that Linuxmint from over a month ago.
