Are you going to try it? What is your use case? What are you hoping to do with it?

I’ll be evaluating it as a potential default recommendation for new Linux users, and possibly daily driving on my personal home desktop (now Arch).

    I’ve actually had my personal laptop on 13 since a few days ago. I’m using KDE, and the jump from Plasma 5 to 6 is pretty significant so it was quite exciting. The LUKS password prompt also got new look.

    I’m still restless about the fact my favorite media player VLC is still stuck on Qt5. No, it’s not Debian’s fault, since VLC hasn’t released anything for a few years now.

      Right. I was wondering about VLC as I have had some weird bugs with it, that’s a shame. What’s your exit plan?

        If you’re talking about the OPUS audio not playing properly, the patch is out and has been applied here and there. Tested on Gentoo as well as OpenSUSE. I haven’t tried it on Debian yet, fingers crossed. For the lack of Qt6, my workaround would be to use other VLC frontend such as Dragon player. I’m currently also looking for gstreamer based alternatives such as Haruna.
