Hello! I’m thinking about switching from my beloved fedora to a rolling release distro, because it really intrigues me, but I’m a bit scared of Arch, it’s still too soon for me to go down this rabbit hole XD
what do you think about debian testing? It’s not a “true” rolling release as long as I understand, but it “practically” behaves like one, correct? On the system informations I still see Debian 12, what will happen when Debian 13 stable will be released?

sorry if these are silly questions and thanks to all in advance!

    thanks for the answer!

    There are a couple weeks/months before a new version is released where testing stops getting feature updates, as the packages are frozen.

    and do I need to do something, or I can just do nothing at all? will it still think to be Debian 12 or will it automatically switch to 13?

      It should automatically switch to the next version, as the “testing” keyword gets passed down between versions. I’m not sure though
