for me, it's debian sid
>>106664272i have lmde tho>>106664278it's literally for testing. even more unstable than rolling release distros
>>106664325nope, debian testing is for testingI use sid for many yearsunstable means changin not if it crasheshaven't had one problem with it, don't spread misinfodebian has other branch for developers to look for bugs and it's debian experimental

Based.Installing Debian 13 on my new machine when it arrives later this week. I'm aiming for full disk encryption, use of xlibre, pipewire audio and KDE with windows classic theme.
>>106664272for me, it's devuan.
>>106664272Too stale.Backports finnicky, rarely available for the shit I need.In the end I'm forced to tinker more than with any minimal/rolling distro.
>>106664272It's like Mint but you have to tweak some udev rules and config files after installing to fix various issues, and then you don't want to uninstall it because you got stockholm syndrome after fixing issues for 3 weeks and forgot everything you did and wouldnt be able to reproduce it a second time.>>106664334Sid isn't meant as a production rolling release distro for users, this this a cope that originated on /g/ because some anons think it's like a secret distro that lets them get away with not using arch, have fun with unvetted updates from and no security repo though>Debian Unstable (also known by its codename "Sid") is not a release, but rather the development version of the Debian distribution containing the latest packages that have been introduced into Debian. It is not a "rolling release", as no release-like quality assurance and integration testing is done on it. [...] Unstable in Debian can be considered something that is in constant development, so it is Rolling Development and not Rolling Release.Btw experimental isn't a repo, it's just the staging area for sid. The development repository is sid.
gentoo is the only distro.

I had to install Debian 14, because I need a newer version of mesa. It's fine though. I'll just run it and keep running it after it becomes stable.

Compared to Mint's out-of-the-box environment, Debian is too vanilla and empty for me to care about it. It works as a foundation for other distrosnto build off of (and servers too) but yeah.

>>106664272Refracta is a Devuan-based Linux distribution that offers a simple, stable, and systemd-free desktop experience using Xfce. It’s ideal for users who want full control of their system, avoid bloat, or revive older hardware.What sets Refracta apart is its built-in toolkit: Refractainstaller – install to disk from live mode Refractasnapshot – turn your running system into a custom ISO Refracta2usb – easily create live USBsPeople use it for everything from daily drivers to custom distro builds to rescue environments. It’s especially loved by users who value init freedom, minimalism, and the ability to remaster a system in minutes. Pros:Lightweight and fastFull control, no systemdExcellent remastering toolsGreat for older or niche hardware setups Potential Gotchas:May require tweaking initramfs or BIOS settings for USB bootSmaller community = less handholdingNot always plug-and-play with newer devices Perfect for tech-savvy tinkerers, privacy-focused users, and those who want to build and share their own live environments. refracta.org
>>106664334>>106664278based, retards on this side don't know that debian's real unstable branch is called 'experimental'. debian sid is the actual rolling release branch of debian. while testing is for packets that will make it to stable in the next release, which is why it stops receiving updates every two years, while sid keeps being updated.the pipeline goes like this:>experimental -> sid -> testing -> stableit's one of the best distro for devs, because it has good stability while having a shitton of updated packages when you need to pull dependencies for a project.t. sid user for 10+ years

>>106664272Most of the time, the wifi drivers in Debian by default are absolute shit.It's great if you only want Ethernet but I can count on more than one hand of all the times where the install would just not go through unless I used wired Ethernet first.I would rather go with Mint or Kubuntu. Those are better options for most desktop users.Debian is really only good for that shitty NAS PC you're trying to build with some old Dell Optiplex or some shit.
>>106680493Amen, AUR sucks balls compared to APT.
>>106681212Having to use wired internet one time at install is not a good reason switch distrosSure you'll get drivers right away but then you are stuck with Mint or Kubuntu for years

I have been using debian 13 for a month now as my first linux
>>106688896why would it be that? it's just a very malleable Linux distro that doesn't even necessarily require compiling from sources these days
>>106664272because I have nixOSDebian with nix installed would be a close second.
>>106688943How is 13?
>>106664272Why do they keep making the number bigger? Are they really changing that much of Debian between versions? Or is it just some calendar year schedule thing? I just get flashbacks to Firefox 3 and then copying Chrome's rapid release schedule they put out 140 versions in 13 years.

Ive been using MX linux for years, over 4.5 years as of now with 2 reinstalls since I got new hardware but I always backed up my home directory each new version.It's my main distro I'll never leave. Just sane defaults, apps and a stable desktop.They know how to maintain an OS and the MX tools are great, It's like if opensuses admin panel was transfered over to debian and is actually good. Just not having systemd with sysvinit as the default and no ubunga base makes it one of the best solid linux OS.

>>106664325>>106669447I used it until LMDE2 lost support. Good old Betsy, I still miss her.Everything after it is incompatible with how it used to read/write timestamps. I guess it's because of systemd, so I switched to artix.
>>106694194This shit cannot upgrade itself so you have to fully reinstall every timeI don't understand the point of this distro when it's basically just Debian stable with the backported kernel

>>106664272>outdated packages>schizoid political team that obviously values niche ideologies over making a succesful tech product, leaves their biggest social media xitter to own the chuds i guess???>rapidly losing relevance due to canonical heavily losing out space to rpm/redhat/suse solutions in enterprise and servers, while fedora has become the community/desktop losers favorite for newbies, and arch has become the goto for steamos and gamer distros, and gentoo for chromeos.It's a dead man walking, once Ubuntu finally moves over fully to an atomic based snap focused distro in the next 10-20 years, it's dead. All linux distro maintainers complain that most of the maintainers are old as fuck and no new blood is coming in, and there's no money to be made in that as linux desktop has failed and the growth in the enterprise/server department doesn't really justify investing into desktop solutions anymore. Debian is dead. It's also a fucking cursed distro, imagine using a distro named by a schizo who names it after his wife who leaves him and then gets raped by cops and commits a suicide. What's wrong with you man? Get an exorcism.
>>106705525fedora just works tho
i use debian because i don't hate systemd enough to use gentoo
>>106664272Will it solve my driver issues? Linux Mint is having a hard time with my 9070XT, it outright wasn't detecting it, using the integrated graphics card instead
>>106664272I'm considering hopping from Ubuntu 24.04 to Debian 13 KDE.Have it running in a VM now, and it seems pretty comfy. Have used both Debian + KDE before, but not for long. Ended up on Ubuntu because of newer hardware, which is no longer an issue with the release of Debian 13.Plasma seems to have improved a lot since 5.X days. Looks much better now, which is one of the gripes I have always had with it (that it didn't look as good as GNOME).
>>106706998Try using Linux Mint Debian Edition. You get the updates/upgrades directly from Debian, which could help your driver issues, plus the polish of the Mint project.If that dooesn't work, switch to a distro based on Arch or derivated from RedHat. Of the former, I suggest artix.
>>106707028I still dislike KDEIt's too all over the place, with a billion of options. And GNOME is the opposite, purely "look but don't touch"That's why I use Cinnamon. Hits the sweet spot in the middle.
