@snacks in their upgrade documentation they tell you steps to perform if you haven't had a full reinstall since 10
like anyone would survive more than two full upgrades with this gargantuan heap of complexity

@snacks you have to manually hold back packages in some cases it's an absolute shitshow

@twinspin6 @snacks Ubuntu goes one step further and warns you when you are upgrading via ssh that you might lose access on a failed upgrade. That warning is there for a very good reason, it will probably fail.

@twinspin6 @snacks Only in the docs though I think. Ubuntu has that in the built-in upgrader.

@twinspin6 @snacks in a Debian spin off upgrade I forgot the step to upgrade the keys

Distro was entirely fucked after but it somehow booted
