I've been on Debian Testing for my own desktops for about 15 years now. Sometimes as a Frankendebian mixing in SID/unstable. Sometimes mainly unstable, but mostly just Testing.
It rarely breaks, but when it does, it's a learning opportunity. Stable for servers and other people's desktops. Maybe with backports. Flatpacks if this no other option.
You don't get 100% solid and 100% new. Ever. With anything.
A someone who worked in OS security, I beg you dont use flatpaks.
As someone who works, flatpak's solve a bunch of problems, freeing me up to continue working.
Security issues are just a class of issue; no more or less important than other issues
As I said, "if this no other option". And to be honest, that was once, for a few weeks before the new KiCad hit Debian repos. And only because hardware team wouldn't wait to switch, so to open stuff, I needed it too.
