Really if a good rolling release is your goal you probably are better off with another distro. The biggest reason to use testing should be because you actually want to help test it for the next Debian release.
Yes, it is. There's a freeze when the new Stable is being prepared, but after that it migrates seamlessly to the new Testing.pawRoot wrote:^ but Debian testing isn't rolling, or is it ?

It's probably more accurate to think of Testing as a rolling development version, rather than a rolling release as such. Arch, Gentoo etc are rolling releases since those releases receive small, frequent updates and are fully independent. This is different to Debian Testing, which exists to find fixes for another release, notably Stable. So yes, Testing is indeed rolling, but the difference lies in its cause.Bloom wrote:Yes, it is.

You only need to make sure that the name 'Buster' in sources.list is replaced by "testing" everywhere.
I always liked LXDE so I have a soft spot for LXQt, however, I never had much luck printing from qt based pdf viewers, whether Okular or qpdfview...always had to install Atril, Evince etc... which seemed silly, even had this problem on KDE (regardless of distro).

^ That's the vanilla configuration, tweakage will happen.
EDIT: some configuration later:
It's pretty but the Gtk integration sucks

I've never tried printing from a PDF viewer, sorry (I didn't even know that could be done) — the only PDFs I deal with are generated by texlive, qtpdfview seems to render such documents very well indeed:HuangLao wrote:I never had much luck printing from qt based pdf viewers, whether Okular or qpdfview...always had to install Atril, Evince etc... which seemed silly, even had this problem on KDE (regardless of distro).

Yes, it is terminator with Solarized color scheme.After long use of the urxvt terminal, I decided to get a more comfortable option.

Nice, I've been using GNOME for my Debian life. I use a mixture of Frippery Clock Move, Pitch Dark, Activities Configurator, Open Weather and Mist theme to get things looking how I want.HuangLao wrote:I'm playing around with Gnome-Shell on Stretch (feel kinda dirty...lol)
