just noticed apt reported the repos changed their 'Suite' value from 'stable' to 'oldstable'. that can only mean a new debian got released.
historically i have read that raspberry team don't support or recommend upgrading and would rather have you start from scratch again. would this still be the case, or do we think debian on arm64 has stabilized enough to consider upgrading?
i know some people have decided to ignore previous advise and have been able to upgrade without issues. it really depends on anyone's setup.
personally I have plenty of docker containers running including pihole and home assistant, so whatever method (stock install, upgrade) will experience downtime. ideally i think an upgrade is going to be less painful than starting over, even if something breaks during the upgrade.
what is everyone's opinion on this?
