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.

I'm running Debian on multiple computers and laptops. This screenshot is of my desktop running Debian Trixie and yes I use flatpaks!
I see. Im asking because software in debian is old and so I wonder if this bothers desktop debian users or maybe they like it this way. If I were a debian user I would probably stay on testing to get some packages faster. Thanks for a reply!
I always use Debian unstable, but my desktop has an Nvidia GPU and I want some stability for #Warframe and #Minecraft, the only two games I play.
So I just installed the latest update by changing my /etc/apt/sources.list.d from Bookworm to Trixie.
