Too lazy to pull #RaspberryPi out of some corner underneath my AC to do an upgrade, so following this guide to upgrade #Debian from Bookworm to Trixie. Also didn't count on archive.raspberrypi.com being so slow... 😑

Well all done. Worked surprisingly well. Laziness totally paid off.

There's a thread on this at the official forum with instructions from one of the Pi engineers. https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=389477&sid=df0e1c47b5c58fc942b784293be640ec

Wow that looks like the exact instructions I used! except on the website I linked they have an alternate update if you have a minimal install without weyland or X.
Thanks for the link anyway.
Maybe much later I’ll find some reason this was a bad idea. But for now it seems to be ok.
@bryan
You're welcome.
The Pi engineer posted 3 months before the PimyLifeUp article. I wonder if they got the information from the Pi forum and forgot to credit them for the information.
@HankB
Well it definitely hit higher in search engine results for DuckDuckGo. Maybe the forum doesn’t want crawlers because of AI companies ?
@bryan Perhaps it's a matter of SEO. Also in this particular case, this is something the Pi engineers don't care to support. That's a little unfortunate since Debian makes in place upgrades possible. I suppose this might be made more difficult due to (what seems to me) a lot of churn in the RpiOS DE. I prefer KDE/Plasma anyway and I doubt they'll ever support that. It's broken in small ways that irritate but don't keep me from using it.
