You are right: you didn't refuse, you are cheating (especially people who don't understand nuances)

You provided a content of a deb package that is intentionally malicious. It is like a saying that car from specific car manufacturer is dangerous for people. When asked "why" your answer is: "Because you can suddenly turn the car and hit people waiting at a bus station".

BTW, I hope you already know that in i.e. Red Hat you don't need rpm package to brick your system. It's much, much easier.

You are a troll.

I asked you to be very specific. And you refused. You are criticizing "apt" for "specific architectural issues" but it is still very, very vague. Once again - be specific please. Can you? What exactly are the "specific architectural issues" ?

If you worked for a politician, you would look like hired by PR agency to throw a sh..t on someone else. I believe (and hope) you are not ?

Sounds similar to my experience with other systems (like Red Hat). Amazing - you've just realised that IT systems don't always work. Welcome to IT world !

What do you mean by "poison" ? Be specific. Very specific.

Why do you think Debian for servers only ? Did you use Debian SID or Testing as a desktop ?

I have used in my life many different Linux distributions: Slackware, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian (professionally or privately). My private choice is the only one not driven by marketing: Debian.

You have three main Debian releases:

  SID (if you need to be as close as possible to upstream versions)

  Testing (the same as above but a few days after SID)

  Stable (you sacrifice the latest software versions for insane stability)

Which one did you use ?

And please don't mix Debian and Ubuntu.

Canonical is commercial company driven by profit (and CEO's bonus).

Debian is driven by community and (mostly) engineers.

The same question applies to any other distribution (Fedora, Arch, etc): who tests them ?

Canonical doesn't have capacity to change over 60000 packages prepared by Debian community.

You are talking about Debian stable which is released approximately once in 2 years. People who want to have more (most ?) recent software on Debian should go for Debian Testing. Or Debian Sid, which gets upstream updates almost instantly but requires more Linux knowledge in case something gets broken.

Ubuntu is based on Debian Sid which is considered as the least stable release in Debian community.

The "testing" name is one of the worst decision of Debian community IMHO. It misleads people.

This is how the flow happens: [upstream] -> [Debian Sid] -> [Debian Testing] -> [Debian stable]

The testing happens in Debian Sid.

It looks like you have never used Debian testing (or used it 10 years ago ?). The testing phase is in Debian Sid and _not_ in Debian testing.

Ubuntu is optimised for corporations, as this is the main source of income for Canonical. Try Debian _testing_.

Even better is Debian testing :-)
