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 think the most significant user-facing change is what versions of the most common desktop environments are included. In this Debian version they seem to be especially recent compared to previous ones (Gnome 48 / KDE 6.3). This means it’s only a few months behind Arch in desktop features right now. Of course it will get old as time progresses, but for changing from another system now is probably the smoothest.

    I was also looking to see if the installer offers an automatic setup for encrypted root with btrfs subvolumes, which is my go-to for laptop installs, alas it does not. Btrfs snapshotting is such a neat feature that I’m going to bring this up for anyone who seems even a bit like a power user. With manual setup it should be possible to do this, so I’ll be seeing how easy it is to do that.
