I installed the stable Sparky (Debian based Linux distro) not too long ago. To try out a lighter Linux installation with i3 Window Manager. Lean!
The journey is bumpy. Explosive even. I nuked my configurations for Kakoune, nnn and Kitty in the process. I was trying to do a common configuration for common application by storing the configuration files at a shared partition and symlinked them into each Linux's `/home` folder. Fancy and work like a charm.
But how did I screwed up? The problem was with nnn. An outdated nnn installation to be precise. There was a bug in UI which failed to show selected items when I jumped tabs.
I came back to Sparky today to continue my setup. Got the fonts to work, link up all the symlinks I planned, install the rest of the missing tools: Starship, git(!), etc. After all these, I decide to find out why is my Sparky's nnn has the bug but my Manjaro's nnn is doing well. I noticed there are some missing feature in Sparky's version too. Then I checked out the version. Sparky's nnn is two years old.
Strange! For me. But, I am the idiot here. TIL: Stable Debian is seriously stable. Packages can be couple of versions behind. I choose Sparky Stable to start with!
Living in the Manjaro/Arch world for the past few years. Didn't realized I was being adventurous all this while.
