Migrated to Debian 11 from Ubuntu 6 months ago. Loving it.

With Ubuntu I used to stick to the LTS releases and wait for a .1 upgrade. But I’ve been running a Debian 12 VM in anger (ie actually doing work on it - I needed PHP 8) for the last month or two and it’s been faultless for me. Might break the habit and upgrade the main machine early :)

Edit: almost pulled the trigger a little early tonight. Ironically the one package I have that doesn’t seem to exist for 12 yet is Virtualbox - not something I could install & test in my Debian 12 VM…

As the manual says you should run

apt list '?narrow(?installed, ?not(?origin(Debian)))'

before upgrading to check what non-Debian packages you have installed.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
