It's a somewhat "rolling-release" model. You will get more up to date packages with more stability too. You could also use unstable, but I wouldn't recommend it personally. Edit: if you really need the most up to date version of some packages, you can pin them to use the unstable repo. This would be a pretty reasonable solution. permalink fedilink source parent [β] lwe@feddit.de 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) You could just go with Debian unstable. I rarely ran into issues while running it in a rolling release style. Debian testing might also work for you. But it will have a freeze window before each release. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] this_is_router@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago As will have debian unstable. That's the way it goes, for a few months every few years it slows down until the new stable gets released. Testing is just 10 days after unstable to avoid the biggest bugs.
