    I would recommend switching your apt sources to point to the unstable branch: sid.

    Strongly disagree with this. Most users should use Debian stable, or if you needs new versions of specific software, then maybe testing or backports.

    Unstable makes sense for Debian maintainers or anyone who wants to test and debug Debian. Unstable means you’ll get bug and breakages much more frequently, which only makes sense if you’re working on detecting bugs and fixing them before new packages arrive in testing/stable.

    Using unstable without being an advanced Debian users is asking for trouble, because you risk more frequent breakages that requires manual intervention and in-depth Debian/Linux knowledge to fix thing. Even if there’s only a breakage every 6-12 months, which doesn’t seems much for veterans Linux users, it’s too much for general users.
