Or should I go 11 > 12 > 13?
Edit: Thanks for all the replies. I asked this out of laziness and apparently trying this is not a lazy thing to do. I’m not Bilbo Baggins seeking an adventure. Will go with 11 > 12 > 13 way, though might stay at 12 for a while at this point. You know, lazy. :)
Edit 2: Updated to 12. Haven’t checked all the configs yet but so far so good, at least every function I expect works. If I finish this checking sequence, I might go for 13 soon too.
Edit 3: Updated to 13 as well. It actually took shorter than updating from 11 to 12. Though for some reason Jellyfin is marked as obsolete, however it works and I couldn’t care less. My things are working and hopefully I won’t see problems. If I do, I’ll check them one by one at this point since it’s a small home server.
Gotta add this: I had 325 packages on Debian 11, and now I have 450 packages on Debian 13. Some of them are marked as obsolete but must review them one by one. I feel like this upgrade process brake my minimalism and introduced some bloat but gotta care about that later.
Did you go straight there, or go through 12?
Oh I went 11 > 12 > 13. But haven’t really checked all the configs from 12 to 13, there are many new ones too.
When I upgraded the desktop and laptop machines, I didn’t run into many issues. Had to reinstall the Nvidia drivers on the game machine. And deal with glances, but I mentioned that before.
I’ll probably update the server to 13 next week.
I had to rewrite part of my php-based photo management system, as it relied on a library that was originally written for php 4 or 5 and hasn’t been updated. Fortunately that wasn’t too hard. There might be other things lurking like that, but they aren’t critical problems - I can deal with them at leisure.
