I can’t remember if it was MKLinux or Yellow Dog, either one of these around '97~99. At the time I was also playing with BeOS and NetBSD.
It was certainly not widely mediatized. Imagine if China arrested the CEO of BlackBerry (when they were relevant) to further the economic interests of their neighbor, and in retaliation we arrested two spies and everyone cried about how unreasonable we were. It would make absolutely no fucking sense. But apparently it’s China who’s unreasonable in this affair…
How exactly is a foreign country supposed to know that he wasn’t a spy, but simply being used as an unwitting asset? Spavor DID in fact pass intelligence information to Kovrig.
The federal government literally settled with him because of it.

Yes, they arrested a… A FUCKING SPY and a guy who was unfortunately being USED by said spy… Seems pretty reasonable.
Looks like a theming problem, not a GTK problem

BeOS and NetBSD was were it was at for sure!!
That is absolutely not true. You can ask any numbers of left wing and indigenous organizers and their families and friends, who’ve received CSIS visits at their homes.
Private to whom? You’ve just moved the observer from your ISP to your VPN provider and whomever is upstream from them.

The differences in memory management and allocation could explain it. Linux is far more aggressive at cache IO I think.
As others have mentioned I’d use a proper tester (aka memtest86+), it will probably take overnight.
Which memtest did you use?
I’ve used Linux as my main and only workstation for over twenty years, and I’ve never had an experience close to what OP describe, so no, I wouldn’t say it’s always been that way.
FWIW Debian isn’t a non profit. Debian is not a legal entity period. It receives funds via the Software in the Public Interests, which also holds the copyrights, but the project itself just is. It’s probably the world largest, longest running, self organized affiliation group.
Also debian testing is a fine rolling release. maybe sometimes a bit slow on security updates, but for a workstation that isn’t exposed to the internet, and using flatpaks for browser it’s mostly a non issue. That can also be mitigated by installing security updates from Sid. And secure-testing release take care of the most critical issues as well. If you avoid the couple’s weeks right before and after the freeze, it’s generally stable enough.
Yes, snap sucks.
You ever run a memtest?

It’s funny seeing all the kids distro hopping around here. I was like that once, now it’s just debian everywhere. The one and only. Stable for servers, testing on workstations, properly selected hardware couldn’t be simpler.
Back then I really liked NetBSD cause they were the only one who had a native OpenFirmware bootloader, which meant you could boot PPC macs with it without requiring a mac partition to load the extension.
