Better late than never: PureOS 11 (crimson) is finally out, catching up with Debian 12 (bookworm) just in time for when bullseye/byzantium lose their extended security support next month. If you're still on byzantium, update ASAP! It's a solid improvement over both byzantium and plain bookworm. 🧵

@dos Does it support Waydroid?

It seems so because if I look at the snippet it seems starting Pureos11 Waydroid will be in APT!

What a time to be alive! great work.

Now I was wondering, is there a migration guide for my Android data?

#waydroid #librem5

@dantalion Waydroid has worked for several years now. The package is now included in the PureOS repositories indeed. Coincidentally, Debian has packaged it a few days later as well.

Not sure what you mean by migration guide. Migration from/to what?

@dos For the android user data

Specially cause the snippet I referenced suggests to delete it in the installation step.

It suggest to run:
`sudo rm -rf /usr/share/waydroid-extra /var/lib/waydroid ~/.local/share/waydroid ~/.local/share/applications/waydroid.*.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/Waydroid.desktop
`

Follow

@dantalion But what are you migrating from/to? What do you want to do in the first place?

This is an installation guide, so it tells you how to start from the clean slate. There shouldn't be a need for a upgrade guide, just upgrade 😜

@dos From the old pureos to 11. Having previously manually installed Waydroid from the CI Debian package.

I wish to upgrade pureos without losing my android user data.

I guess as long as I make a backup I can just uninstall the old packages and place the user data back in the right location after installing Waydroid from the repository.
