We can make up for it with systemd politics.

Thank you for making Ivanka Trump shoes & clothing one of the world's most successful brands. Please read my journal entry about "Hua Haifeng, Li Zhao and Su Heng". Very important to preserving @IvankaTrump brand integrity!

Kindly refrain from hijacking the topic.
There is a time and a place for political commentary but this topic is not one of them - if you have nothing of value to add to the topic at hand: stay silent. Consider that others are trying to build a community that will endure long after you have lost interest and moved on.

Actually, I can't think of any real regressions since Jessie. While upgrading from systemd to a sane init is still an unpleasant task, it's no worse than before.
I think it might be worthwhile to make an alternate installer, though -- many many people distrust derivatives, so something that installs Debian without that silly two-reboots-plus-tons-of-cruft desystemdization required would be nice.

It needs rebooting during install? piece of crap. It's not something you wish for when you succeeded to mount a install volume by command line wizardly.
But that separate installer thing sounds like an interesting approach. Keeping the benefits and racing past the crud.

Finally, KDE4 is dead.

KDE5 works for me. Although b/w tray kinda sucks.
I want to see a PC that works on earthbytes, though.

Plasma 5 has actually been both stable and very usable since 5.9. There are still some gripes I have, such as why the HELL can't we change clock font size, but overall it's almost as good as 3.5.10 was back in the day

Now now, open source projects as complicated as a desktop environment sometimes takes time between the release of a new major version before the new version reaches the same stability, features and acceptance by the community as the old. Early versions of KDE4 where bad too. Give it time. By all means use whichever allows you to compute efficiently, but don't throw KDE 5 under the bus just yet and five it another try in a few minor versions.

Guess I'll stick with Jessie then. KDE 4 just works, and isn't full of yet another round of useless-regressions-because-KADT-rewrite-again. Not to mention the horribly ugly flat UI.
Of course, TDE also works great on Jessie, and I'm sure it'll be great on Stretch, too, so maybe I don't care so much about KDE 4 after all. KDE 3.5 is dead; long live TDE.

Has Debian stooped so low as to have to announce releases on twitter and reddit? That's kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Debian is the best! Currently have a prerelease install, and it's been working like a champ for months. Look forward to giving the new one a whirl now!

I whirled and found the installer crashing :( The network install worked but took 3 hours. Waiting for 9.0.1, but looks very promising.
