It's an odd-numbered year, so there is a new major Debian release, and we are now releasing the corresponding version of Raspberry Pi OS.

    Ah, shit… The only way to update is to reimage/reinstall… It’ll take a couple of days for me.

      I don’t get it. You could have probably maintained a Debian Sarge install and upgraded it all the way through to Bookworm. I’m kind of surprised they don’t provide an upgrade path in place for Raspian when Debian can manage it.

        “This time, because the changes to the underlying architecture are so significant, we are not suggesting any procedure for upgrading a Bullseye image to Bookworm; any attempt to do this will almost certainly end up with a non-booting desktop and data loss. The only way to get Bookworm is either to create an SD card using Raspberry Pi Imager, or to download and flash a Bookworm image from here with your tool of choice.”

          that is the same bs rpios says with every release. most likely they just don’t want the forum with a bunch of people having ods issues.

          I installed rpios on my pi400 three yrs ago then changed the Debian repos to Sid and updated. Been doing apt upgrade ever since with no problems.

          It would be great if they provided more details. Are the issues specific to desktop usage? And to work around it, is it enough to start with a fresh home directory?
