I thought that pureos is rolling release because some of user here are saying that. but when i check pureos crimson its packages is base on stable branch not testing i also check the differences version of keepassxc in stable and testing. and i confirm that pureos is stable not rolling.
I really want pureos for my daily driver desktop but i dont want the outdated like stable i know it also receive update and security but not compare to testing. the testing is good for stability and latest version than stable. i really know that pureos use testing but i check all the versions of crimson packages it is stable. and it is disapointing.
Hmm byzantium is obsolete than stable. I always check all of its packages even on software store. and crimson on my opinion is stable it follows stable upstream
Sure, since you seem new to the Purism community, I will inform you that official statements or status updates from Purism are very limited due to various historical reasons. You can try asking Purism support for official statements or answers, but I cannot guarantee you will receive one.
A more precise label for the releases would be that Byzantium is the "current"ly supported release and Crimson is the under active “developlent” release.
Naming them “stable”/whatever based in the labeling of the Debian release they are forks of does not accurately reflect the current state of the forks themselves.
and if we go by past Debian releases, we will see Debian 13/Trixie stable in about half a year (mid to late 2025).
while we are still waiting for PureOS Crimson Alpha based on Debian 12/Bookworm stable (not testing if i understood it right).
