That's good news. I want to try this system but only once Bullseye is released and they release new version based on it.
I am currently on Manjaro on two of my work computers, but due to instability and many other issues, I will be coming back to Debian with tail between legs . I'm waiting for next release of Debian to jump back in. I will consider MX Linux and Netrunner as well, as they contain clean Debian underneath with their updates and optimisations.
