Keeping Debian relevant question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



So, had to set up a Debian laptop for someone, and the first question I got asked is ....yes but how do I update all the accessible stuf?

So here's my question. What is the most accepted way to do this, is it by backports, or switching to testing? It's a Debian 11 system, and by default it ships with Gnome 3.38 and thus Orca 3.38.

So, is there a preferred way to keep things up to date then? I've seen some people online say use backports. I've seen others say oh, go with testing, it hasn't ever let me down, and still others say oh, wait for Bookworm, and yet more say oh switch your sources.list to Bookworm


So which is it? I'm not sure what the consensus is.


And related question, Is there an easy way to buil Orca from git? I know about Una, so is it on there, if so it'd make my life a lot easier. Una is, for those who aren't aware, like paru or yay for Debian. I didn't know Debian had an AUR until I stumbled across Una.
