It absolutely is. I don’t think it’s too popular for gaming given you’re not getting the latest and greatest by default. Arch being up top doesn’t surprise me at all. I know people who use Arch, btw.
The testing distro is not meant for production use, there may be bugs and stuff in it but it is not bleeding edge. So it is tested a bit.
For personal use it should be fine. You probably won’t encounter anything breaking your system. And if it does you either can fix it yourself or wait for a fix.
It is a trade off you have to figure out for yourself, but considering how stable actual stable debian is I am fine with the testing branch. It is very up to date (only a few months behind newest stuff) and I didn’t encounter any bugs.
I find the popularity if Arch frustrating. Not that I have anything against it but because I worry people will go to arch and get scared away from Linux as a whole. I’m on Ubuntu and fedora and both those distros just work with no screwing around. Its so chill.

You just have to use debians rolling release. Debian-testing
Is debian testing a distro meant for actual use? I always thougt it was something meant for their developers only
Well it is difficult to answer that.
