Hey everyone! I've been using Linux for about 7 years now, and I've loved my experience with Debian 12 Bookworm for almost 2 years. I'm excited to see Debian 13 is on the way! I understand that to upgrade, I just need to run 'full-upgrade' or 'dist-upgrade.' Is that really all I need to do, or are there other steps I should take before upgrading?

You'll want to make sure you follow a few steps before upgrading. Start by updating your current system with these commands: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade.' After that, you'll need to change your sources list to point to the new version, replacing 'bookworm' with 'whatever-the-next-codename-is.' Don't forget to back up your data and clean up any unnecessary packages before you finally run 'full-upgrade' to complete the upgrade process! Definitely reboot afterward to see the changes.
Thanks for the clear steps! I'll make sure to back everything up first.
