Switching from Microsoft Windows to Linux is one of the best decision I ever made.

Thank you to the thousands of Debian volunteers. You are amazing people ❤️

Speaking of debian - anyone here running debian testing as a daily driver? I really enjoy debian as a kind of "default" Linux but the rare updates and the need to upgrade the whole system when a major update hits annoys me, so rolling release feels better, but I'm worried Debian Testing is unstable? But I've heard it's not so bad? Anyone got any opinion on that?

Debian Testing is unstable?

Naw, Debian Unstable is unstable. /s

Jokes aside, I don't think I'd use Debian as a daily driver for desktop Linux, and I really like Debian. Now, for a server? Debian all day erry day. But as soon as a GUI is needed, I'm gonna look to another distro. For context though, that's mainly because my daily driver needs to be gaming capable, and I have a very recent GPU. Debian 13 has Mesa 25.0, but 25.1 and 25.2 have fixes that keep some of the games I play from crapping out.

So what distro do you use? I definitely am also including gaming in the considerations.

Juat wanted to chip in and say that PikaOS is a gaming specific OS based on Debian Testing. Been running it the last couple of months and been enjoying the heck out of it! https://wiki.pika-os.com/en/home
