Daniel I was also thinking of taking the problem directly to the Debian forums at this point, can you tell me which are the main forums where I can write and bring the problem?
Please join the
debian-devel mailing list. That has always been the main place to communicate about issues that span multiple architectures.
From what I understand the problem is not only for us on Power but also on other architectures they are having problems with Debian 12 on the new Kernels... This problem must be solved once and for all because it is absurd not to be able to use the new Kernels on the latest version of Debian and then on the old Debian instead everything works perfectly it makes no sense... I updated because now on 11 they do nothing anymore and they don't update almost anything anymore and we are left behind. I like Gnome 3.38 better than 3.4X but unfortunately now we have to use this but at least everything works damn it...
If you search the
Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS) for all the reports about Debian installation failures and Debian upgrade failures you will see that I personally spend time testing the upgrades and installations during the freeze process before every release and I share all my feedback about bugs.
Now that Debian has become so political they reject legitimate bug reports without even looking at them. Even if a found a zero-day security issue, the political filters would block me reporting that. One bug report from an experienced developer might avoid problems for another 10,000 anonymous users who don't know how to report bugs.
There have been various reports and surveys in 2024 revealing
that young people are not getting involved and the existing developers are getting olderPersonally, I feel the
Code of Conduct gaslighting is a big factor in that. When young people go out to the pub on a Saturday night, the last thing they hope to see are their parents, their professors or their boss in the same pub. Yet when you see some reference to Code of Conduct for a weekend event like FOSDEM, it is not a real weekend any more. If they want to have people behave like their boss is around all the time, why not move FOSDEM to a weekday so more people can ask their company to pay them for the time we spend there?
When people see lawsuits, they don't always know who is right or wrong but they just go somewhere else.
When people see the press team writing statements to denounce a volunteer, people subconsciously reduce their effort to do testing or reporting bugs during the pre-release freeze.
Therefore, the quality of the software declines and we risk getting into some kind of death spiral where the politics pushes some people away and then the lack of reliability pushes even more people away and it becomes harder and harder to recover.
They are always talking about having a "safe space". If they push everybody out so it is just 15 or 20 core members of the cabal then I'm sure they will feel safe but they won't have a real distribution any more.
