"Debian Stable ("Trixie", though I hate codenames)"

You can also call it Debian 13.

I choose not to call it Debian 13 because that carries less context than Stable/Testing/sid. I'd rather not require the user to maintain that extra metnal mapping.

Anyone who knows anything about this subject immediately understands what is connoted by "Debian Stable". I run Trixie on most of my personal boxes and I had no idea what version number it is, nor do I particularly care.

    It's not that hard to find though:

      $ cat /etc/debian_version 
      13.4
