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…
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
Every single time I’ve run upgrade on Debian, I’ve bricked my install. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong 😆

Watch out! People in here looove Debian for some reason
Yeah, you better watch what you say; Debian Gang got eyes on you.
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.
