Finally allowing apt-get to update my main desktop system to Debian 13 "Trixie", and wondering exactly how many hours or days I'm going to have to spend getting my own customizations / additions working again.

It's always something. Last major upgrade to 12 "Buster", it was trying to get unprivileged LXC virtual machines to start and something else I've forgotten, probably due to the trauma.

#Debian #upgrade #Trixie #apt

So? How did it go?

My upgrade from 12 to 13 was incredibly smooth, I did not have to touch a thing to whatever customizations I had made. (that I remember)

I may re-install Debian for Forkie to remake my system without Gnome.

I haven't rebooted yet, so the big test is yet to come, but there were no serious errors during the upgrade, just a few config file merge conflicts. A couple of minor things did seem to break - the input remapper daemon I use got reset or something, so I had to try to remember which trackball key did what to open its control applet and reload its config, and the console is full of `audit` lines, one about every second or two, so I'll have to figure out why that's so verbose.

Rebooting will be the test...
