    They might include it. Or they might not. If they don’t have time to test it, they just won’t, and you may wind up with 5.27 for longer than just the next year if you’re waiting for debian’s stable repos.

    debian’s neovim is on version 0.7.2 (even in trixie/sid, you have to go to experimental to get to 0.9.5, which is the current). If there are any bugfixes between 0.7.2 and 0.9.5 that aren’t security backported… too bad. You aren’t getting it any time soon, because it’s not landing in Trixie, and it’s not guaranteed to land in whatever is after that either.

    Debian’s “stable” refers to “predictable” like you said. Which includes bugs being predictable. Not resolved. Predictable. And if you have a bug that crashes your system, that bug will stay there unless it’s a “security” issue. Predictable crashing. NOT the “doesn’t crash” that people seem to think “stable” means.

        I did. Something about the combination of Debian, KDE, Wayland and nvidia drivers made the system unstable.
        After googling the issue for a bit, the consensus was that that just isn’t a good combination.
        So I switched distros and now everything works.
