[Lilug] Distro Question - Debian

[Robert Wilkens]

Hi--

A few months ago i was on here, running Ubuntu, and someone pointed out
some blaring security holes, like a guest account that does not stay
disabled.

I switched to Fedora, but i do not (yet?) love Fedora, simply by running
update twice in a row i managed to get on the development version (or is
fedora just the development version  of red hat), and for example doing an
update knocked out my wifi (necessitating a reboot) a few days ago.

A friend (whom i haven't seen in person in about 20 years) told me he *is*
in love with debian testing.  Before i commit to switching again, i want to
ask here if there are any major known problems with debian (stable,
testing, or unstable).  I probably ran debian unstable 10 or more years
ago.  I believe i heard the founder of Debian (Ian) was dead so i have some
doubts about how much it's being maintained.

I am much more comfortable with the 'apt' package management system than I
am with 'dnf' (dandified yum?)

I am not going to transition today or that soon, i want to transfer the 2TB
SSD in my desktop into my laptop first, so I'll have to clone the windows
partition over and all that first.
