would you recommend debian testing for a daily driver?
Hello! I'm thinking about switching from my beloved fedora to a rolling release distro, because it really intrigues me, but I'm a bit scared of Arch, it's still too soon for me to go down this rabbit hole XD
what do you think about debian testing? It's not a "true" rolling release as long as I understand, but it "practically" behaves like one, correct? On the system informations I still see Debian 12, what will happen when Debian 13 stable will be released?
sorry if these are silly questions and thanks to all in advance!

The problem with Debian testing is that packages are not fresh, neither packages are fresh in sid. So, Debian is not a replacement for rolling distros like Arch Linux or openSUSE Thumbleweed
why not? I installed it in a VM and the packages seems all up to date (except for firefox because it uses firefox-esr)
Where can I track package versions without installing? https://packages.debian.org/trixie/ and https://packages.debian.org/unstable/ show outdated packages.

Debian testing is Debian 13
