At the time it was fine. I had an array of 4tb drives that I was backing up with a series of 5gb drives. They were just so unreliable; all but one failed while the array they backed up is still spinning strong.

Bingo. Sorry, had typed a reply about my failure rate and difficulties getting an RMA but forgot to submit.
Bought some of the old versions for backup drives. That was a mistake.
does the job I suppose. I don’t use desktop enough to have any useful thoughts about it. I like that it’s a decent gui over what I’m used to.
bingo, I enjoy the stabilty and simplicity for my servers but I wouldn't run vanilla debian for a desktop. ~~ironically I tend to use Linux Mint for desktop which I guess is a grandchild then, since it's based on Ubuntu :).~~ oops, I use LMDE, not Mint.. forgot that I switched a while back since it's directly debian based.
absolutely nothing, it's my preferred distro (and I have the grey beard to match). what I mean is that despite not using Ubuntu (or honestly even liking it that much), I give it a pass since it's the offspring of my preffered flavor.
It’s Debian based so gets a pass, so long as it’s headless.
6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
Pretty much. At this point a religious weirdo is a religious weirdo no matter what flavor they prefer.
I feel like they belong in separate categories though. Lawnmower man was regular bad, like it started as something that had value but effects and writing just weren’t up to where they should have been resulting in a hilarious, guilty pleasure mess.
Battlefield earth never stood a chance, everything about it was cursed start to finish and was a complete vanity project by a religious weirdo. There’s just plain guilt with it, no pleasure.
Nature has a much harder job creating the perfect rock. I’ll take it and keep my eyes out for another perfect stick.
Not exactly reliable and less than easy rma process.
