Of course. Stable is way too old for a desktop/laptop and my personal
experience with testing is that it breaks a lot more often than unstalble and
stays broken for a lot longer when it does.
Appart for things that were my fault playing with seriously experimental stuff
unstable broke on me maybe once in the last several years, and I like things
updating often ... I also develop cutting edge things and thus depend quite a
bit on cutting edge features.
