It’s perhaps a bit philosophical in that a lot of these developers see new hardware as having ‘teething issues’ and won’t go out of their way to support it until the bugs are worked out. The Debian team is not large enough to spend a lot of time backporting new features to older kernels and packages (more than they already do) – which are the “more stable” non-sid variants of Debian. If you have newer hardware, this is pretty much what you need to use. Most development and changes are happening on sid. The other versions start life out as sid and then become some other codename like Buster, Stretch, etc at some point in time. The always-current but unstable iteration of Debian is codename sid. Commands likely have typos as I’m doing it live.
