I’m curious about what you think on how it will affect the Linux community and distros (especially RHEL based distros like Fedora or Rocky).

    With all the new updates happening around all the Linux peripherals, I wouldnt like to stay behind for the next 2/3 years on Debian

        Except not everything, as RHEL has selection of software updated to newer versions. Debian just keeps everything old.

          Debian has great backports support. And if you need fresher software use nix, flatpak, etc, or run testing or unstable.

      You don’t have to use stable for the entire duration of debian 12, switch to testing after say about six months, I’m running testing right now (by accident, forgot I was tracking testing and not bookworm/bullseye) only found a tiny bug with libvirtd.

      Debian is lovely os.
