It sort of is a middle ground between stable and unstable. You have newer versions than stable and a sort of rolling release but the chance of getting hit by breaking bugs is a lot lower compared to using unstable. I am using testing for ~15 years on my main laptop and it never happened that my system totally broke or was unbootable, which sometimes can happen in unstable. If there is a security issue or a bug, there often is already a fixed version in unstable which I could easily cherrypick (I always have testing and unstable in my sources.list with a pinning to prefer testing). Best regards, Martin
