For servers it is pretty good, but for a desktop it depends on your needs. Imho it is always best to try to fix the problems, even if you find out that you can't.

| schestowitz | I have run Gentoo, which basically gives you your own distro with setting USE and compile flags. I came to the conclusion that it is a) far worse in terms of stability to have your own distro for a few reductions (USE flags mostly disable features compared to binary distributions) than to share a stack collectively and b) that it is the biggest waste of energy to compile packages without knowledge of the compilation process | Aug 13 20:46 |
| schestowitz | and the meaning of the flags themselves. | Aug 13 20:46 |
| schestowitz | Debian is a very solid community effort to give you a stable and bug-free integration in one stack of almost all foss software desirable. This is a far more reasonable and sustainable effort imo. The rise of Debian and the success of Ubuntu (which is somewhat a branch of Debian unstable) are simply based on this slow and stable community free software distribution concept. | Aug 13 20:46 |
| schestowitz | Having said that, the best way is still to find out. But if you need an environment for development or something to build upon, a stable set of packages is a bonus not a problem. You can get upstream packages through seperate "backport" repositories called PPAs, which makes Ubuntu very easy to use. I have used Fedora (+KDE) for a year for better SandyBridge support reasons and it is a fine distro so far, but it is not as | Aug 13 20:46 |
| schestowitz | stable as Kubuntu. Java had many segfaults during development, e.g. It was overall due to the fact of bleeding-edge packaging that many things didn't properly integrate and cause bugs. It all depends what you need from the stack. Bleeding-edge distros can definetly help in fixing these bugs, but only if the users have a community perspective. | Aug 13 20:46 |
| schestowitz | But compiling on your own without targeting some larger benefits is a waste of resources and energy imo. | Aug 13 20:46 |
