I have used Debian for the past 3 years, who else uses Debian?

Also, what makes you use Debian?

    I see. Im asking because software in debian is old and so I wonder if this bothers desktop debian users or maybe they like it this way. If I were a debian user I would probably stay on testing to get some packages faster. Thanks for a reply!

      I like it this way. When you say old, I hear “the environment is predictable”. What works today won’t break in a week because an update changed functionality of something. As long as I have hardware support, I don’t need the latest packages for what I do.

      I always use Debian unstable, but my desktop has an Nvidia GPU and I want some stability for #Warframe and #Minecraft, the only two games I play.

      So I just installed the latest update by changing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d from Bookworm to Trixie.
