So a new major version of Debian has been released, and now I see a lot of complaints about various issues stemming from an upgrade. I do not remember this many after an LTS Ubuntu version. I don’t want to rush to conclusions like “Ubuntu has money for better quality assurance”. I can easily come up with explanations for why these statistics can be skewed, like “Ubuntu-loving plebeians do not come to complain to elite Lemmy users about their puny problems”. I’m curious what you think?
I’ve been doing debian upgrades without significant issues. With debian 13 I find I’m getting some deprecation messages from python and I have had to make some small code patches to fix them. I see that as more of a python issue than a debian issue.
Sure, this is fair!
Regarding this release, do you see more posts about it, compared with others?
that’s where most of my ‘issues’ come from when upgrading an old debian… upstream version changes to major software packages (python, php, even apache 1.x to 2 back in the day) that require some manual intervention
Of course it will be like that with any distro.
