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!

    I just run firefox nightly. It updates just about every day. Also, don’t worry about chodes talking about Debian not being up-to-date. For any purposes aside from some fringe new hardware, which you may have to wait a week or two to update, or chodes with a “latest” fetish, Debian is as up-to-date as any of the other highly touted fresh distributions. In the end it comes down to how you like to deal with package management.

      thanks you very much! Would you recomment the testing or unstable branch as daily driver?

        I might be the wrong person to ask. I have both testing and unstable in my sources. Hasn’t caused me any memorable problems in the past decade or two.
