> 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.
