Debian released version 10.7 yesterday and I decided to install Debian on my other desktop directly, as I saw no need for two of the same distro to be installed, as I'm not really testing anything.
Debian required a non-free firmware package for it to recognize the AMD Radeon video and once that was installed and system rebooted, the graphical desktop came up fine and I was then able to install Trinity.
When Debian 11 (bullseye) is officially released next year, is it best to wait and upgrade everything (Debian and Trinity packages) at the same time? I do not know if it is safe to upgrade just Debian to bullseye, if the Trinity packages for bullseye were not yet available at the same time. I am aware that Debian 10 is being supported for five years from the date it was initially released.
Thanks in advance.

I have Devuan Chimaera + TDE (psb) on my T14, it works.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Edwards, I have been running Debian testing for 15 years and TDE master (R14.1.0-dev) since 2012. No problem whatsoever. You can use PSB or PTB packages for bullseye. PSB (R14.0.x): https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Stable_Builds PTB (R14.1.x): https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Preliminary_Testing_Builds
Whether you prefer a huge update once in a while when a distro is released or you prefer continuous small updates as with debian testing, that depends on you and your needs. For me, small progressive upgrades works super well :-)
Cheers Michele

Hi Michele,
I don't mind the occasional huge update.
Before installing TDE with PCLinuxOS, Debian and Ubuntu, I had upgraded Fedora from 32 to 33.
I really wish I had known more about TDE before this, as I wouldn't have bothered with the Fedora upgrade. I had installed the TDE packages for Fedora and liked it, but when I then saw the TDE PCLinuxOS image, I had to try it in a Gnome Box under Fedora to see how it worked and I'm glad I did. I simply had too many issues with Fedora.
I still have TDE/Debian and TDE/Ubuntu in VirtualBoxes on one system (TDE/PCLinuxOS as the host) and now TDE/Debian as the installed OS on the other. :-)
