Debian-13 Testing is Pretty Good

 I have tested this on a 4GB Live USB.
Thanks for keeping within 4GB and I do not want to waste 32GB USB.
 
1. Live session is smooth with a crisp introduction.
 
2. WiFi Configuration has  no problems.
 
3. Firefox is still the default browser but it has Dillo, Falkon. Konqurer  but my ancient light weight Midori is not there.
 
4. Software is Flatpac and Synaptic Package Manager come as a Flatpac App Image which was not to my liking.
 
5. Manuskript, Focus Writer, Paper Works and all notes including Red Note are available.
 
6. Gparted is not available.
 
7.  Calamara Installer which I hate (very SLOW due to too much graphic), is now the default (Distribution Independent Installer) Installer.

8. AbiWord is under Flatpak and most likely libs and dependencies are not checked properly.
They are in individual container which I am not happy with.
 
9. On those grounds I would stick to Debian 12 and would not move to Debian 13 unless if I  go for a Advanced NUC, perhaps MSI (Minisforum) platform. 
 
I do not consider 13 as a bad number but it is generally a folklore.

Thank YOU guys and Girls for your Hard Work.
Keep it up.
