Maybe you guys already know, but I’m posting it anyway:
Nitrux (from Mexico) with “their own” D.E. which is a customized KDE Plasma.
Not interested in App images and also if it’s lts forget it! But i will try it. I’m not looking to distro hop. I only try other distros to compare and see what i like and don’t. They don’t even have the ISO available to download. 
Siduction was having some challenges in getting out a new iso, it’s nice to see they were able to. I played around a little in Virtualbox with their KDE release and their Xorg iso, which seems like a pretty quick and easy way to get a minimal Sid install to build from–especially since the testing installer for Debian isn’t working for me with ESP installs on VB.
Yes i like it because it’s rolling and has the newest kernel. It is using nala as a front end to apt but i find it has some issues. I’m good with apt anyway. The only difference is parallel downloads supposedly. But in all honesty i like it a lot. There are a few packages i don’t know anything about but i can just uninstall them too.
I’m sorry for the off-topic, the thing was that a “new release” was indicated on main Distrowatch page which tempted me to check it out for a bit. But if there’s no ISO then why is that announcement there? 
Wound up picking one of the weekly “testing” Debian ISO’s, one created yesterday. I think it’s awesome. It’s not cutting-edge and a bit slow but I don’t care. I did pick XFCE for it. About 2GB to 3GB overhead less, now disappointed with MATE. Now I wish Thunar stopped its antics, expects me to use tabs (which drag-and-drop still doesn’t work) or the F3 trick, not two windows so I could copy stuff from one disk to another.
Also I asked about Wine because I tried to apply it on Siduction but got a “kernel32.dll” missing after running “winecfg” which was very frustrating.
The latest Kde hasn’t come through but the kernel just updated.

Edit:
Me too curious debian testing.
I just simply renamed bullseye to bookworm. (Is that correct, is that enough ?)
I’ve also been running Debian Sid in a production environment for quite some time without any problems. However, it does not hurt to be a little careful when installing the withheld packages.
The 4 -security and -updates lines can be commented out.
Testing doesn’t get security patches or updates from separate repositories - it only has one repository, bookworm (testing also works).

Well technically “sid” is a rolling release ???
