beauty & simplicity GNU Linux Debian Mate please keep it that way 😀
WARNING! don’t do this on productive systems! 😀 only on test systems! (it has worked twice before 😀 on 2024-10 on a very used and very fresh Debian 12 but be careful)
- backup the whole system and all data via rsync or otherwise
- workflow is basically like update upgrade from 11 to 12
- run update script to be on the latest versions of all packages

apt update && apt upgrade apt clean -
