[kwlug-disc] Debian "testing" -- not bad

[William Park]

(Double posted, so reply to your list)

I've been looking for a distro with recent KDE and recent kerne*l*. So, 
the benchmark was *Kubuntu* 25.10 (v6.4 KDE, v6.17 kernel).

1. Started with *Mint* + "apt install kde-full".  Result was comparable 
to Kubuntu LTS, ie. v5.27 KDE, v6.14 kernel.  Makes sense, since Mint is 
based on Ubuntu LTS.

2. Then, tried *LMDE* + "apt install kde-full".  I was surprised to get 
a rather recent v6.3 KDE with v6.12 kernel.  I was expecting an old KDE, 
even older than Mint version.

3. So, decided to try *Debian* *testing* + KDE.  I got v6.5.4 KDE 
(latest) and v6.17.12 kernel.  Not bad.

Right now, *Debian testing* is compiling v6.12.62 and v6.18.1 kernels 
for Raspberry Pi Zero 2W.  We'll see how it goes.

To those using Debian testing, how would you rate its stability?  Is it 
suitable for daily PC?
