Mason Pines<p>I've been trialling <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Plasma6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Plasma6</span></a> on <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a> on a spare laptop to see how it is, leading up to when <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a> will be released later this year.</p><p>Accepting <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Trixie</span></a> is still being developed, for the most part, I found it okay, but not exceptional. There were the odd unexplained issues, which may or may not be bugs.</p><p>At this point, I think I will stick with <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> for another iteration of <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Stable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Stable</span></a> when the time comes to upgrade from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bookworm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bookworm</span></a> to <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/trixie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trixie</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> has been my DE for many years now, and it just works and is stable at all times. Sure, it isn't flashy and doesn't support some newer technologies, but that aside, it fits the model I want to operate my DE. So I'll stay with tried-and-trusted <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/XFCE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>XFCE</span></a> and every so often I'll test out <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/KDE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KDE</span></a> in a VM or spare laptop and see if it is good enough to be a daily driver where stability matters most.</p>
