Meet Trixie:
Ooops – not *this* Trixie 😉 Although, as is well known, the Debian developers name their releases after characters from Toy Story, so this *is* Trixie. Enchanté 🙂
Well, as you can probably guess, I did it – approximately 3 weeks before the planned release date, and this time even one week before the planned deep freeze, I updated and upgraded my system according to the link in my last post which leads to the installation manual. Or, to make it a bit shorter, I did the following:
- edited my /etc/apt/sources.list file, and
- temporarily commented out any backports/updates lines until trixie will become stable
- changed any other instance of the word ‘bookworm’ to ‘trixie’
- saved that file
- performed a sudo apt update, followed by – as suggested –
- sudo apt upgrade –without-new-pkgs, and finally
- sudo apt full-upgrade and
- sudo reboot
Done. Simple as that. Oh, and after the reboot I also performed a sudo apt autoremove to get rid of some old stuff which isn’t needed anymore.
I had to exchange a Gnome extension for the weather to a newer one afterwards, but that was about it. Runs perfectly fine – but what else would you expect from Debian?
So here’s the output from fastfetch:
Still a happy user of Debian, after all those years… and thanks for reading.
