I'm ditching Ubuntu for Debian. But I'm wondering if I shouldn't use Debian Testing instead of Stable to get more updated software.

Tuxedo OS is going to rebase their distro on Debian Testing, and I've heard that it's actually pretty stable for a non-stable distro, which is why I'm considering it. But, I want your hear about your experience. What kind of trouble do you frequently run into? Any traps I should look out for?

I really want something that's going to be no-fuss, solid as a rock and that's simply going to get out of my way. I don't have time to troubleshoot my PC after a whole ass day of troubleshooting some company's software shit.

Before you tell me to switch to whatever other distro, I'm not interested. I want to use Debian. I'm used to it's packaging system and how it's set up and I know it's a super stable distro. And I fully support the people behind it and their social contract.

~~I used proton vpn on Debian for a while just fine. Not exactly the same, but you can still set up the GUI app.~~

Edit: Don't mind me lol I remember having issues with testing. Just read/processed everything.
