How is testing?
(programming.dev)
Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.
I would say testing is okay - I have used the same install on my desktop continuously since early 2022. It's the same as usual - some packages might disappear during transitions and then reappear, like FreeCAD. When that happens, I just use the Flatpak. I think the only major issue I've run into with current testing was some of my systems got borked during the time_t64 transition and I had to chroot in and fix them, but that got sorted out months ago and is probably the only huge issue I can think of.
