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.
I’m wouldn’t do it. Debian isn’t something that likes big jumps like that. Consider an immutable distro if you want to be able to leap around that way.
I heard some people use openSUSE MicroOS as their servers but my servers were always Debian and I’m quite happy about it. Though immutable server sounds nice. But I wouldn’t consider anything until my server is completely broken, so there is that. :)
