^ For those who dare to take the step to sid/unstable, {snip}.

I ran sid for a few years, and I did "up2" daily at start up in the morning. Until one day I got stupid and tried something.  I didn't bother keeping the pieces I went back to stable.

But, I've heard it said and I agree, sid is more stable than "testing" if proper care is maintained.

alias up2='sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade --no-install-recommends && date +%Y·%m·%d%n%T > $HOME/.conky.sysupdate'

it did not have the "&& date →" part at the time

I still use "up2" - saves typing.

Re: Tutorial - Debian-Hyprland

^In sid(uction), the commands

# apt update

# apt full-upgrade

are used to update the system. The command

# apt upgrade

is only used (the $USER must want this) if dist-upgrade or full-upgrade reports that “half” of the system will be removed. This occurs regularly, for example, during so-called ‘transitions’.
Perl packages, the t64 conversion, were typical examples.
With apt upgrade, the ‘old’ perl packages remain in the system and are not replaced with the ‘new’ packages until a full-upgrade is performed. And this must be done promptly(zeitnah)!
Therefore, it is better to wait and only use the apt upgrade command in justified exceptional cases.

See “man apt” > Difference between apt upgrade and full-upgrade.

Time to read ... and I wonder where I got that from.

Thank you my friend.
