yes, and i've had very few problems with it for a long time,
but i still also keep a bootable stable partition because when
you need something to work for sure it is better than trying to
fix testing quickly
I'm currently running on testing. I have to in order to get my HDMI
Audio to work. I have stable on my media center PC. I have had more
problems with stable than with testing. Elisa on stable crashes when
there is a large number of songs or multiple cd's in an album. Elisa
on Testing works just fine with no issues. I like testing and
surprisingly it does not get that many updates. I had openSUSE
Tumbleweed rolling installed and there were hundreds of updates every
day and they were not all using delta-RPM.
Yes, that's where I was also, using openSUSE Tumbleweed. If Testing is
more like a rolling distro, then it seems very similar to Tumbleweed,
albeit with significantly fewer updates. I am enjoying Debian quite a
bit (I liked openSUSE, but wanted to try something new and was concerned
about the involvement of Novell and the direction they wanted to push
the user community into in order to support their enterprise project).
This is what convinced me to go try Testing on my desktop pc instead of
trying to stick with Bullseye:
