Finally, the “one way ticket” is not really that. You can always wait for your testing or sid Debian OS to stabilize by managing your sources list in time. For example, by using “trixie” instead of “testing” in your sources lists, as long as they are all official repos, when Trixie launches as the Debian Stable distribution, you will be using Debian Stable. If you choose to use “testing” in your sources lists, you will always stay with a Debian Testing distribution.
