Hello! I’m thinking about switching from my beloved fedora to a rolling release distro, because it really intrigues me, but I’m a bit scared of Arch, it’s still too soon for me to go down this rabbit hole XD
what do you think about debian testing? It’s not a “true” rolling release as long as I understand, but it “practically” behaves like one, correct? On the system informations I still see Debian 12, what will happen when Debian 13 stable will be released?
sorry if these are silly questions and thanks to all in advance!
Debian is fine, my daily driver for decades. No issues, just works, and for most purposes a rolling release (unless you use stable. But if you’re using stable, you’re probably running a production server and care less about the shiny new stuff than not wanting to wrestle with your system). It can get a little stale when it’s time for a major release (like every other year), but that’s not close to the issue it used to be. If you’re used to seeing rpm’s, maybe give tumbleweed a try. I haven’t used it myself, but I have read enough good reviews that I don’t mind suggesting it.
