I'm playing it on Debian testing - works fine, except for that XFS bug.

oh hey - sorry for the OT question. But how has Debian Testing worked out for you ? Are you able to install it on UEFI laptops, systemd, working well, etc ?

Debian installers have been a pain last time I used it and have been worried to go anywhere near them

New Debian installer (for Jessie) handles UEFI / GPT just fine. I use systemd for a long time already. Besides some minor issues like warnings if you have swap defined in fstab and with partition flag, I don't have any issues with it.

You can get the installer here: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/jessie_di_rc1/amd64/iso-dv... (just take the first image and write it on a USB drive - it's hybrid).

I usually select KDE inside the installer (it gives such option) and after installation repoint repositories to testing proper.
