After years of distro hopping, I had one to many updates which borked some driver & realized what I’m really looking for is my laptop should be boring stable appliance. Incredibly happy with it so far.

    People do often site the slow updates, but to be honest that’s not been an issue because you can just install the newer version.

        yeah, mixing stable and testing is something you’ve gotta be really careful with.

        Now, running entirely testing, or well, more likely testing+unstable? Way less likely to break. So if you want the Rolling Debian Experience, just upgrade to testing. :3
