Successful dist-upgrade of my #Librem5 from byzantium (bullseye codebase) to crimson (bookworm):

purism@librem5:~$ lsb_release -c
Codename: crimson
purism@librem5:~$

💪

#purism

@janvlug Yes, it is... to be honest I expected some serious issues, but the upgrade itself was flawless, and everything still works as expected. So... thumbs up!

@mistersixt @janvlug Crimson isn't even ready for developers yet, let alone users. There are many regressions over byzantium, many broken dependencies and many non-installable packages there. It was just barely cleaned up enough for images to build last week, and plenty of work is still needed to put it into shape. You can run it if you want, sure, but expect problems and don't expect any support.

@primalmotion @mistersixt @janvlug Don't get me wrong, I'd probably install it myself too just to play with it early if I wasn't working on it :) I just need to make it clear that "everything still works as expected" isn't very close to truth when I can easily identify several annoying regressions just by using it for 5 minutes and I *know* that there are many more hidden a bit deeper because I've seen what was done there and even introduced some regressions myself :)
