    Because when you use Debian and you find a bug, you will notice that it was fixed years ago but for “stability” you are using an ancient version

    For example if you use samba as active directory domain controller on Debian, it doesn’t let login windows 11 users. This bug was fixed in 2019

      I’m using “testing” repos for this reason (testing is still stable, it’s the next stable)

      It might be late still, I don’t know

      I’m really curious if that’s still true for debian 12, it’s using a 6.1 kernel and stuff isn’t nearly as old.

        I recently switched one of my VPS to Debian 12.1 coming from Ubuntu 22.04.* LTS, because of the newer kernel and newer packages. I think there was an Ubuntu update this week, didn’t have time to look into it, so I’m not sure if it still applies.
