What are your thoughts on Debian trixie ? I’ve been on many distros but never seen so much hype about Debian on mastodon. Currently using void and Mac OS but don’t know what will get me to try trixie when i’ve hopped to Debian so many times

Seems nice so far. Wayland works better than in 12, but still has issues with nvidia drivers + KDE Plasma combo. Some software (Signal desktop, discord at least) have a really annoying flickering going on, and toggling Vsync on/off crashes any software that tries it. Swapped to X11 instead, and it works like a charm.

    How do you even swap to x11 when you have Wayland installed? Let me guess there is a way on the internet? Don’t even know why i’m asking Lol

    Even with an DE installed, Linux doesn't force you to use it. Pressing Ctrl+alt and any of the F-keys is usually configured to switching between sessions. So even if the DE gets stuck and gets fully unresponsive, you can still switch to a different session and access your system through a terminal. Using that terminal you could also install a different DE (or window compositor)
