      Lol is Debian not still the “I don’t wanna fuck with this too much” distro? On the complicated spectrum, I think Debian fell pretty fairly in the approachable side :D

        It absolutely is. I don’t think it’s too popular for gaming given you’re not getting the latest and greatest by default. Arch being up top doesn’t surprise me at all. I know people who use Arch, btw.

            Is debian testing a distro meant for actual use? I always thougt it was something meant for their developers only

              Well it is difficult to answer that.

              The testing distro is not meant for production use, there may be bugs and stuff in it but it is not bleeding edge. So it is tested a bit.

              For personal use it should be fine. You probably won’t encounter anything breaking your system. And if it does you either can fix it yourself or wait for a fix.

              It is a trade off you have to figure out for yourself, but considering how stable actual stable debian is I am fine with the testing branch. It is very up to date (only a few months behind newest stuff) and I didn’t encounter any bugs.

              However currently I am on nixos
