Congratulations to the Debian project for 32 years of excellence, and thanks for your great work!
I've been using Debian since version 5 "Lenny", and as my main desktop since ditching Windows in 2014. Freedom, respect, and stability - I've never looked back! ❤️🐧🍥

Received one of the #GameAndWatch Super #Mario Bros. handhelds yesterday. The controls felt pretty good and the display was nice and bright. I'm surprised at how light it is, though.

#debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
I'm new to the @debian game.
I just saw in the documentation "Upgrades to Debian 13 "trixie" from the previous release, Debian 12 "bookworm", are automatically handled by the APT package management tool for most configurations. "
However, my debian didn't offer me upgrade in any way. Do I have to install a specific upgrade package?
Currently I'm using a standard installation based on KDE.
Or is upgrade only supported in gnome stock software packages?
Can anyone help? #Followerpower
