From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m using Debian testing + a few packages from experimental (Mesa) and xanmod or liquorix kernel.
It’s been a great experience. Stable as expected, performant as anything else.
You probably have your reason to run Debian testing but I read somewhere that testing is somehow a bad idea as desktop environment !
If somehing is stuck and being updated in sid, and bugs are still happening, you could be stuck for month without the correct update in testing.
Sorry if it's not clear, but I read it somewhere in the official debian documentation.
Debian testing is insanely robust. I am currently not running it (testing) because I use it for work, but my past experience has been excellent.
