      Not necessarily. You can stay in Debian but point your repos to the sid/unstable distribution. They will have GNOME 45 soon, but it’s a one-way ticket.

          Unfortunately, overhunting has severely reduced their numbers to the degree that Serbia is one of the few places where they are still plentiful thanks to their rigorous protections.

          Damn auto-correct. Who doesn’t include “Debian” and “Sid” in its default dictionary?

          It’s really common and actually explained in the Debian Wiki. Also, as others have mentioned, a stabler choice would be to use Debian testing/trixie, which will get GNOME 45 after a week or so in Debian sid/unstable.

          Finally, the “one way ticket” is not really that. You can always wait for your testing or sid Debian OS to stabilize by managing your sources list in time. For example, by using “trixie” instead of “testing” in your sources lists, as long as they are all official repos, when Trixie launches as the Debian Stable distribution, you will be using Debian Stable. If you choose to use “testing” in your sources lists, you will always stay with a Debian Testing distribution.
