My old days were on DOS¹. I am a relative newcomer to the Unix world,
starting about 1999. But I grew up with the “old values”, including
their reasons.

Hm, if you can count whatever BASIC and asm stuff I did between
1998 and 1991 – which I did not publish, due to age, and lack of
computer network…

Pure realm maybe, but neither earthy nor unix.

I will absolutely not be going with a Debian fork.
However, I invite the “progressive” party within Debian to create
a derivate, not fork but maybe even a pure blend, in which they can
integrate systemd, GNOME, etc. “better”, and only x86/ARM with the
accelerated 3D graphics, while continuing to support the “Universal
OS” Debian to some amount. Basically a different installer, defaults
or configs, if needs be, and possibly different packages, if at all.
