Yeah and? Debian is free, you can just upgrade to the newer version without paying a thing.

And upgrades tend to be pretty stable. You can still use whatever UX you were used to before, since packages tend to stick around quite a bit.

The issue with Win 11 is that it drastically changes hardware requirements and UX. That's not an issue for Debian.

And because linux is 99% just the programs you install on it when you do upgrade to a new version you aren't being forced into a new system. This is why distro wars are pointless.

It seems worthwhile to set realistic expectations.
