I've been using Debian forever. Over the last few years I've begun using Ubuntu LTS on my servers to get a more modern stable variant.
I've always been fine with sid/experimental for my desktop but I've increasingly noticing people distributing Ubuntu-specific deb files with all sorts of dependency issues in Debian.
Has Debian become an old-man distro like Slackware? Why do people not test their deb files on Debian anymore? There's no reason to use Ubuntu, fuck.

There's no reason not to use Ubuntu, either. I didn't know about the distribution of Ubuntu-specific debs but I'm not surprised. It's literally turning into a case of get with the times, gramps.
there's some ubuntu server version or something
apt is deprecated though, statical linking is back and docker is the new package manager, srsly

Except that none of that is true lol
Ive used Debian forever but Im thinking of switching my servers to Ubuntu Server LTS and my desktops/laptops to Ubuntu MATE LTS.
Back to Ubuntu despite distrohopping since 10.4.

Future looks grim.

They do. That's what sid/experimental is for. If you don't want that shit you should stick to stable. Stable is fine except for the botnet (see second part of post).
>Has Debian become an old-man distro like Slackware?
No. Debian has become a normie botnet distro like Ubuntu because of NSA/systemd. Use Devuan Jessie instead. It's perfect.

Why don't you just install windows 10 and connect a few webcams and mics while you're on it.

alpine helps a bit, still better than node/npm, people using that shit intentionally
