Unless it’s just a hardware driver issue?

    Because when you use Debian and you find a bug, you will notice that it was fixed years ago but for “stability” you are using an ancient version

    For example if you use samba as active directory domain controller on Debian, it doesn’t let login windows 11 users. This bug was fixed in 2019

      I’m really curious if that’s still true for debian 12, it’s using a 6.1 kernel and stuff isn’t nearly as old.

      I’m using “testing” repos for this reason (testing is still stable, it’s the next stable)

      It might be late still, I don’t know

        Yep. I once heard on an IRC room about testing being “highly unrecommendable” because it could break at any time! I rolled my eyes. Testing branch is fully usable, and it rarely breaks if you are a mindful user.

        I understood the problems are about security patches being late there, and the freeze periods. Why not usw unstable?
