Hello. I am going to try Debian for the first time, although I have been a Linux user for years. For a user with experience in Linux and for non-technical use of the system, is it more advisable to use Debian stable or testing? Thanks

    Stable for me, want my OS to be boring and unsurprising. I also don’t have any brand new hardware, that could be a consideration on which version (or which distro) to use.

    Testing becomes the next stable so it’s not a huge jump in the grand scheme of things but I don’t personally have that much time to figure out new OS issues. But maybe I’d install testing or unstable on a spare machine that isn’t my main day-to-day system.
