I just really wish they had an answer to Ubuntu's HWE stack[1] for mid-Stable hardware updates :(
(Backports don't count due to their ad-hoc & unsupported nature)

- b5n 6y agoWhat's wrong with using test in this context? If I'm running LTS, which for me is server only, I don't want or need newer kernel or x updates. Additionally, if I'm utilizing a DE I generally don't want LTS. sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sed -i 's/buster/testing/g' /etc/apt/sources.list sudo apt dist-upgrade Getting security updates from unstable (not required): 1. Pin unstable lower than testing. 2. Configure apt/debsecan as outlined here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725934 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725934
- dyingkneepad 6y agoYou install Debian Testing, but you configure your sources.list with the actual distro name (today: bullseye) instead of testing. Some of the installer media even do that for you: https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2020/20200316 https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2020/2020.... Just keep updating your distro and when it gets released you will be on Debian Stable.
