This release seems really solid. Good timing to hit a lot of good software releases. Makes me want to finally try out Debian. I'm a big fan of 'it just works' experiences if possible so I might be the target audience.

But I'm very happy with Fedora for quite a while now. I'm still amazed how stable it is even with very frequent updates as well as very current software overall. So it would just be switching for the sake of doing it and I try not to do that anymore.

Latest kernel for fedora has rendered my system unbootable. I'm either going to reinstall fedora or hop to Debian. Such a shame, fedora has been great to me for years.

Nvidia User? It happens to me too every so often on kernel updates. I usually just tell grub to boot the old Kernel Version for a few days until driver updates etc. come in. Then everything is back to working again with the newest kernel.

Great to see it comes with the very latest version of KDE Plasma 5.27.5 desktop

noob question, how do you upgrade from 11 to 12 ?

Here's a good How-to on the subject: https://linuxiac.com/how-to-upgrade-to-debian-12-from-debian-11/

Debian stable is irrelevent or pointless. Only Debian testing branch is worth something.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
