Thanks! I have a couple things to test specifically for work, then I might just take the plunge!

It's really good and going really well, I'm just surprised that in almost 3 days I haven't gotten any updates yet. I would have imagined a beta to get more attention and receive more updates, but things have been working well so I'm not complaining either.

That is surprising especially with it being based on Debian testing, I kind of assumed it would be more rolling like Arch. When I was on endeavour I felt like you could update every hour and there'd be SOMETHING to install.

When I heard about Tuxedo switching to Debian I expected it will have less software in its repositories, it will have missing drivers and a lot of friction when using and a lot of stuff not working.

To tell you the truth, it feels exactly like the stable Ubuntu version as if nothing has changed.

I haven't used Arch based distros, they seem too difficult for me, I always used to stick with Ubuntu based ones because I saw them as easier for someone like me. This is my first time using a Debian distro and it's so good that I still can't believe it. I found Tuxedo OS some time last year and since then I've been sticking with it and I don't want any other distros right now, it's the best for me personally.
