    I imagine that it won't make it to Ubuntu 16.04

      If you have problems with networkmanager, install Wicd and remove networkmanager. With Wicd applet you have full control to the network interface, gnome networkmanager applet depends on notifications from lower software layers and if you have problems there you have a non working network connection.
      Who said I had problems? I'm perfectly happy with networkmanager. I just think it's a pity that Ubuntu will likely miss out on a new release.

        So now you know better than him how he feels. Does that tell you anything?

        Let me get this straight: debian doesn't have the latest mesa because of a ubuntu maintainer?

          Except that you were telling him about his experience with networkmanager. That's not forbidden, but it's hard to interpret in a sane way.

          Then why didn't you just say that mesa is behind in debian testing because of a debian maintainer. That would have actually made sense.

          Fwiw, a common trait of insecurity is taking views different than yours as a threat. Well guess what? Most of the time the world will disagree with you (and me and anyone else). That's life.

            Lol are you serious? Legit telling people how they feel... I'm pretty sure it's clear that he doesn't like that Ubuntu isn't getting the update. Not everyone is happy using a rolling distro and tend to stick to a specific distro for support reasons. (I don't personally use Ubuntu, but I still the appeal)

              Debian testing is not really a rolling release as it freezes every now and then before becoming stable.
              For that I'd point more to sid at least.

                It is the fastest service I have, so even if wicd is faster, I don't think I'd notice.

                  I don't believe it is that necessary, but let's say that it is, we're geeks after all, we always want faster... (and honestly I'd love my tablet and phone booting faster!)
                  But it doesn't even take 1ms... at that point, I cannot be bothered to care, and since it is the fastest service I have, I cannot fathom it being so badly done either.

                    Yeah, I don't think that's typical network manager startup time. Here's what I got: <!-- NetworkManager [946] ppid=1 runtime=0.165s -->
                    Oldish laptop with wired and wireless connections. Maybe there's something broken in your Debian installations? Or maybe simply some hardware that network manager doesn't like.
