    Proxmox 9 dropped too, their major releases coincide with Debian’s. Upgrade process on a single standalone box was completely uneventful; I’ll be trying a 9-node cluster on Monday.

      I’m new to Linux, do you just wipe your computer when switching distros or dual boot or what?

        I HIGHLY recommend backing everything you give a fuck about and wiping the disk clean. Because windows breaks linux.

        Before you look at a list of distros and wonder which one to install, choose if you are __:

        Arch Linux -> if you think you know how linux exactly works (likely not)

        Arch-based distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS, etc.) -> If you want to use arch but with some help

        Linux Mint -> Recommended for beginners.

        Fedora -> It just works :tm:

        Debian -> ol’ reliable

        openSUSE -> If you tweaked windows

        Atomic Distros -> if you want a system that you can’t break

          Or if you want to be forced to learn how Linux exactly works lol

        In this scenario if a user is using Debian 12 (Bookworm) and wanted to upgrade to Debian 13 (Trixie) it is possible to do by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replacing Bookworm with Trixie.

        Obviously consult the documentation and backup your files before making drastic changes to your operating system.

      I’ve done 3 dist-upgrades… Just read the release notes and if not, at least the warnings that show up during the apt upgrade process… Dont just hit “yes” or “quit” on all the text

      I upgraded my distro relatively easily, had to purge and reinstall my nvidia packages & driver but other than that we’re back in action almost as if nothing changed.

      KDE got a bit fancier with Plasma 6, a lot of themes no longer work.

        I read the upgrade notes and nothing seems changed for my setup (intel igpu and xfce4) so i’ll wait for a few weeks and probably do an upgrade then

          You will get XFCE 4.20 at least. You can run Wayland now if you use Labwc as a compositor.

          Even as a Wayland fan though, I would stay on Xorg for now if you are using XFCE.
