May be a repost, but I’m just trying out posting to the Linux group…

It truly is incredible. Debian never been better.
Worth mentioning, this also brings the first ever stable release of Mobian: https://blog.mobian-project.org/posts/2023/06/10/bookworm/
Hardware support still needs more love, as Linux phone ecosystem depends entirely on volunteers writing the drivers, but we’re getting there.KDE 5.27.5 has been a great release. On top of Debian 12, it is a solid, stable, and mature desktop. I look forward to not worrying about my systems for the next two years.
noob question, how do you upgrade from 11 to 12 ?
There are instructions in the release notes. Chapter 4.
Here’s a good How-to on the subject: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-upgrade-to-debian-12-from-debian-11/
Great to see it comes with the very latest version of KDE Plasma 5.27.5 desktop
This release seems really solid. Good timing to hit a lot of good software releases. Makes me want to finally try out Debian. I’m a big fan of ‘it just works’ experiences if possible so I might be the target audience.
But I’m very happy with Fedora for quite a while now. I’m still amazed how stable it is even with very frequent updates as well as very current software overall. So it would just be switching for the sake of doing it and I try not to do that anymore.
Latest kernel for fedora has rendered my system unbootable. I’m either going to reinstall fedora or hop to Debian. Such a shame, fedora has been great to me for years.
Nvidia User? It happens to me too every so often on kernel updates. I usually just tell grub to boot the old Kernel Version for a few days until driver updates etc. come in. Then everything is back to working again with the newest kernel.
Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.
I quite like testing, I agree that for desktop use it’s fantastic, but stable has been a real balm when it comes to servers. I don’t need the latest bleeding-edge Apache or w/e, I need solidity.
I expect if I were running a computer lab or something, I’d also run stable, just because in large numbers, small problems become big problems.
I consider Debian stable pointless due not getting any software updates in order to be able. Not getting releases of new versions also means vulnerabilities. I know stable gets security fixes, but programs still get out of date.
For better stability and also updates, Devuan is the only way to go, and Devuan testing is the best. I refuse to install Debian, only Devuan.
