considering it's not released yet and has 331 RC bugs still to
be dealt with (or ignored) that's a bit of a jumping the start
line signal.
helping to find bugs is good though too. :)
I have been running Bullseye on my notebook for almost a year with very few problems. My sound hardware and my WiFi does not work on debian 11. My notebook is my primary work machine and it has been working well. I look at testing as a rolling release. My media center Mini PC is all Intel and everything on it just works. I wanted to try out KDE Big Screen which is not available in Debian 11 so I had to upgrade to Debian 12. Big Screen works ok on Wayland. I think I am missing some application packages though. The Sound and WiFi buttons just launch a blue screen that never actually loads. The shutdown button works fine. All in all I like it. I started removing unneeded software to make it more streamlined. All I really need is Dolphin, VLC and Elisa. Watch videos and listen to music.
