I’m ditching Ubuntu for Debian. But I’m wondering if I shouldn’t use Debian Testing instead of Stable to get more updated software.

Tuxedo OS is going to rebase their distro on Debian Testing, and I’ve heard that it’s actually pretty stable for a non-stable distro, which is why I’m considering it. But, I want your hear about your experience. What kind of trouble do you frequently run into? Any traps I should look out for?

I really want something that’s going to be no-fuss, solid as a rock and that’s simply going to get out of my way. I don’t have time to troubleshoot my PC after a whole ass day of troubleshooting some company’s software shit.

Before you tell me to switch to whatever other distro, I’m not interested. I want to use Debian. I’m used to it’s packaging system and how it’s set up and I know it’s a super stable distro. And I fully support the people behind it and their social contract.

    That would be Debian Stable. I’m using it with KDE Plasma (6.3.6), and am pretty happy with it. (I also applied a few backports for gaming and software development, but that was easy.)

    Is there something about newer Plasma versions that you absolutely must have right now, rather than living with 6.3.x until next year?
