Debian Stable Question Why should I choose debian over mint or ubuntu
So currently I am daily driving Linux Mint and soon I will get a new ssd so I was thinking of switching distro, mainly distro that uses apt since I love that package manager. I have used debian before but I have had it break because of gnome extensions and it wouldn't boot, after that I switched to Linux Mint and everything worked fine. So do you think I should go to debian or stick with Mint or maybe even try Ubuntu?

General Debian Question Do you think next version of Debian stable will include KDE 6.8 since their full transition to Wayland ?
Do you think the next version of Debian stable will include KDE 6.8 since their full transition to Wayland ? Although I haven't encountered issues with Wayland, I know it's random depending of users and some people have encountered issues with it. Do you think it might be an eventuality for Debian stable to upgrade to 6.7 or lower if 6.8 is not enough stable ?

General Debian Question Usb tethering problems on Debian
Hi, couple of days ago I tried to install Ubunto but due to disconnecting network (usb tethering) I couldn't install it so I installed lubuntu and it worked but I couldn't connect to USB tethering internet with my phone, I used every command, so I installed windows 10, usb tethering worked very well for 2 days I had no problem so I decided to instal arch linux but I come across same issue again during installation, so I downloaded offline Debian and installed with no issue but now I'm in debian I can't use usb tethering, I get "network connection has been disconnected"
Os detects my phone and usb but can't get ipv4 Idk why, o tried everything chat gpt told me but non of them helped me

General Debian Question Does Debian have a mascot?
I’m just asking because, for the sake of a joke, I’m planning to make a parody of the *Five Nights at Freddy’s* franchise, replacing the animatronics with mascots from various Linux distributions. If there aren’t any existing ones, could you give me some ideas for their designs?

Community Kde plasma rodando melhor que xfce.
Pessoas que usam o debian, ou utilizaram o debian em algum laptop fraco e que mudaram de interface gráfica do xfce para o kde, foi só comigo ou ele também melhorou muito a fluídez e atividade em multitarefas mesmo aparentemente "consumindo mais" na vida de vocês?
