Been on testing for years without problems. Super reasonable choice for a personal machine if you need recent software versions.
Always use a separate partition for /home, have backups in place and your golden.

Running fine for 4.5 years. $ stat / | grep "Birth" | sed 's/Birth: //g' | cut -b 2-11 2020-06-20 $ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.sources # Modernized from /etc/apt/sources.list Types: deb deb-src URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian/ Suites: unstable Components: main non-free contrib Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg # Modernized from /etc/apt/sources.list Types: deb URIs: http://deb.debian.org/debian/ Suites: testing Components: main non-free non-free-firmware contrib Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg You may also want `apt-listbugs` package to see the serious bugs before running upgrade.
- kennysoona 2y agoWouldn't running uptime be quicker than your stat command pipeline?
- shasts 2y agostat command gets the detail of when the OS was installed on the machine. uptime doesn't give that. I wanted to say that I have been using the same development machine at work for 4.5 years. "running" was not the right word for it, obviously.
- kennysoona 2y agoMakes sense, thanks.
- Anthony-G 2y agoI’m no AWK expert but I know just enough to tell when it’s the right tool for a particular job. Most pipelines consisting of `grep`, `sed` and `cut` commands can be replaced with a single AWK command. In this case: stat / | awk '/Birth:/ { print $2; }' For the line containing the `Birth:` regex, print the second field (by default, fields are delimited by spaces). Other lines that don’t match the regex are ignored.
