2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    When people complain about systemd "violating the unix philosophy", this is what they actually mean (lemmy.world)

    Bookworm looks to be on version 122, so as downstream distros update to newer Debian versions, it should be updated now

    [–] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Mint 21.3 is based on Debian Bookworm (via Ubuntu 22.04, not counting LMDE of course). I don't know what you're looking at and I also don't fully know how this works, but what you said doesn't seem to be the case.

    Ubuntu 22.04 is long before Bookworm

    It looks like Ubuntu pulled in Bookworm’s version in 23.10

    If Mint is sticking to LTS Ubuntu versions, it will get it whenever it rebases on top of Ubuntu 24.04

    Edit: Debian (Bookworm) polkitd version 122: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/polkitd

    Ubuntu 22.04 polkitd version 105: https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/polkitd

    Ubuntu 24.04 pre-release polkitd version 124: https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/polkitd

    Very well, you seem to definitely know this stuff better than me! I based my comment on this answer and getting this myself on Mint 21.3:

    $ cat /etc/debian_version 
bookworm/sid

    But reading a bit closer, I think this is the key part:

    That's how, for example, Ubuntu 20.04, released in April 2020, can be based on Debian 11 "Bullseye", which was released in August 2021.

    So Ubuntu probably pulled Bookworm before it was released, and before it upgraded policykit. But it's still to some extent based on Bookworm. Does that sound right?

    Yeah, Ubuntu pulls in the development version of Debian

    “Sid” is the unstable name for Debian - where packages are being tested for the next release

    Debian Bookworm was released 2023

    Ubuntu LTS and Debian have tended to release on a two year cadence offset by a year
