Debian stable or Debian Testing for home users (lemmy.world)

Hello. I am going to try Debian for the first time, although I have been a Linux user for years. For a user with experience in Linux and for non-technical use of the system, is it more advisable to use Debian stable or testing? Thanks

Stability is the main reason to use Debian in the first place. If you’re not going to use stable, then you might as well use a different distro.
