    “For now”, is more like it.

    This happens with every refresh 😂 6 months from now you’ll be fighting to get Mesa updated or something.

        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.

          Backports are specifically tested for the purpose of being compatible with stable, so there should be no issues.

          I can’t really comment on what what gaming desktops need, I feel like you could absolutely play games without the latest drivers at all times, but I don’t play any modern AAA games.

          If you need bleeding edge software, then don’t install Debian, for sure. Or go unstable with all the potential issues.

      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.
