true but only if you dont use the latest hardware. IMO, if you already have a computer then Debian is 100% crash proof, minus user errors. Using the latest computer spec on Debian is just a nightmare.
The correct way with a new computer with recent hardware is to install Debian Testing to get a recent kernel, firmware and mesa and stuff, but put the code name of the next release into your apt config instead of “testing”. So then when the next version is released, you can just stay on that, now stable, version.
Trixie just got released today though, so for the time being you can probably get away with using that.
Wouldn’t it be better to use backports? Testing doesn’t always get security updates if a package is problematic and can’t migrate from sid for a while.
