DEBIAN 13: I could actually use it as my desktop, now!

"For now", is more like it.
This happens with every refresh π 6 months from now you'll be fighting to get Mesa updated or something.
-
Is that not in Backports?
-
If you're asking for problems, I suppose you could do that, but they still aren't updated regularly. Slightly before testing releases hit. That's nowhere near where it needs to be for gaming desktops for most people.

Ugh, too true. I'm using 13 now after a long hiatus of Windows only desktops and was shocked to find KDE had undergone yet another refresh.

What was stopping the person before? I've been using debian as my desktop for years.

Watching the video, the main reason is native up-to-date drivers, mostly for nvidia

-
With flatpak and distrobox, the underlying system and package manager does not matter too much anymore to the end user.
-
bs-manager flatpak won't work, the AUR version does. That's more convincing than I'll ever need to go back to Arch.
-
Some people prefer to have a game mod manager working immediately, others prefer their system working for years instead of failing to boot after an update.

I don't get this obsession with always having the latest and greatest. I'm more of a "if it isn't broke don't fix it" kind of person
It turns out that there isn't one big break, there are many small cracks that have been patched. I was reading about 13% performance increase in benchmarks, which seems significant.
Ah, here it is: https://www.phoronix.com/review/debian-13-benchmarks
More like "If it isn't as good as it could be, don't do anything to improve it."
So I guess you're still using a PSTN modem ?
