From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

unless they have
stableinstead ofbookwormon theirsources.listIt defaults to the codename. Any installer you download will be either Bookworm or Sid right now.
I really wish they had easier way to switch to newer version. It works for me, since it's not that hard to edit
sources.list(ordebian.sourcesnowadays), but I don't get why they don't make a tool that does a release upgrade like on Ubuntu. Could even list changes made to the sources file during execution for that matter.Yeah, I don't know. Probably because people don't immediately upgrade? A lot of people use a release until it goes EoL.
