    I’m probably a big newb, but on my headless Debian machines, major updates screw me up sometimes too.

    • “Ah! All my updates can’t be found on the server? Oh we’re done with “Bo-Peep” and moving to “PotatoHead” now? Maybe I should be on the newsletter or something…”
    • Change some sources in that one text file I gotta look up every time…
    • apt update && apt dist-upgrade “Oh, that’s a lot of errors…”

    I’m sure it’s not that bad and I’m being dramatic but I do kinda appreciate my rolling OpenSUSE Tumbleweed for this reason lol. I feel like newbies would struggle with that major release upgrade process…

        Haha Debian is really cool and I’m glad it’s there! Definitely rock solid! Don’t wanna throw any shade at their very important work. :)

        …I’m just too goofy to update it properly sometimes. 😅 Skill issue lol.

          Ironically I had numerous discussions with people claiming updates often break rolling distros like Arch, and I’m in the same boat as you - only ever had issues with major upgrades on Debian
