Constructive.

I have issues with Debian, but screaming anger fits generally
speaking haven't helped me fix them.

I've tried things I don't like more than once in my life, and
I've rarely found that screaming anger fits helped.

In the Free Software world, the response to something not
working is generally:
1)If you know how, fix it and send the fix to the project so
it helps everyone, or,
2)If you don't know how to fix it, report the problem in a
useful way, so someone else can fix it and help everyone.
