There is absolutely nothing that the software from today has to offer me that makes me do all those things better, or has a feature that I absolutely need to have.
I see people talk so much about newer versions of software, and that they want it because it's newer. But I rarely see anyone say why they need it, for what function?
In short, newer software is overrated.
Does your computer works 100%, good. Can you do with it want you want to do? Yes, done!

Until ClearLinux abbandoned their Desktop tweaks they have used Materia + Paper Icons and their own Font. Looks pretty modern. ..but now AFAIK it is plain vanilla Gnome. Not sure because I'm on PopOS. Btw is also not that bad but has more the hippster feeling less the designer look and feel...Last edited by CochainComplex; 13 November 2020, 04:13 AM.

Debian stable packages is too old that sometimes ones required packages not provided there. In my case, client have debian Stretch and still not upgrading. I want to install neovim and fzf, but stretch doesn't provide that. Yes, we can compile it, but still too much a hassle for me.
But in this case it should be easy. Neovim is available for stretch and you can use fzf as a snap package after you've installed snapd offcourse.

Yeah like I said, if you can do with it what you want to do with it you're good. Otherwise you will have to do some work to get it done.

Sorry, not fond of snap. Oh, and, "if you can do with it what you want to do with it you're good" -> not really. What if the newer code is more robust or have a significant performance impact? Yes, you still can use the old packages. But the newest packages double the perf. Example: PHP from 5.6 to 7.x.
