A word of caution: Nightly is not equivalent with Stable. Using a non-stable build, especially one built every day, means there's a substantial risk of bugs and data loss.

I've used it for years and have not had many crashes so there is no real need for 'caution'. I also run Debian Sid on laptops, another 'unstable' system which is remarkably stable despite its moniker. If these were relatively new systems/programs there would be more churn but at this stage of their development the changes made tend to more gradual and less crash-prone.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

There's always risk in running complex untested software.
