If they can improve the driver situation and make those copilot+ NPU better supported under Linux I am all for it.

But if AI is going to be the new snap, I think more people will switch to Debian despite their ancient kernel and applications.

> ancient kernel and applications

This isn't as big a problem these days. Most people run the latest LTS of Ubuntu. Until a week ago, Ubuntu LTS was OLDER (in kernel and in software) than the latest Debian release.

In between, Ubuntu has the HWE kernels and Debian usually backports them.

Fair point, but right now latest Ubuntu is on 7.x while latest debian is on 6.19.

Latest AMD ryzen for example works much better on 7.1

		7.0.1 has been in Debian experimental for a few days now. Shouldn't be much longer.

Do you need to use testing to get the updated packages?

		Backports maybe.
