I did it on the GUI all day yesterday! The only problem Debian has is being unbreakable!
Heck, I switched repos from bookworm to trixie and installed 3 GiB worth of packages - 2.5k packages - and booted into a PERFECTLY WORKING system!
Installed the other 8 GiB afterwards and booted into a perfectly working system. Just before I thought Steam was broken, I rebooted and it came alive too.
And my GTX 1650 worked right away! Do you know how many times the daily 1 GiB update on Ubuntu breaks that?!
Flatpak updates are kinda' slow, no 4 GiB downloads needed per day, Debian updates arrive at like 200 MiB a month except for apps like VSCode, Signal, or Discord. And - to be honest - that's the Windows-unlike experience every distro is missing.
Debian really is unbreakable.
