Is Debian Bullseye Supported?

Somewhat related....
I run my server on Debian 11 'Bullseye'. During my last system update I received a msg that chromium would be ending Bullseye updates, and I should update to Debian 12 'Bookworm'.

I started off my Linux journey with Debian 11 Bullseye. I upgraded the OS to Debian 12 Bookworm. I am running my OS as a container of Proxmox. I think you meant to say in your Subject line is Debian Bookworm supported and the answer is it works great. Current version of Bookworm is 12.4.

I had originally posted in the referenced Windows 7 not working thread...hence the 'Somewhat related' opening. The mods saw fit to move it to it's own thread.

Debian 11 has worked great (also runs my Plex server as well as Channels DVR). Just was pointing out that another related program, Chromium, was withdrawing support on an older OS.

Got ya. I run Plex as well on Bookworm. Should be an easy upgrade for you.

Did you do an in place upgrade or a fresh install/reload apps? If an upgrade, what guide did you follow? AFAIK, there isn't an 'official' upgrade path, but I've found several third party guides.

I am not sure if the process is different from graphical vs command line. But I followed something like this.

Basically you have to go into the sources.list and replace everything that says bullseye with bookworm.

The easiest path to upgrade is replace "bullseye" with "bookworm" in the apt sources files in /etc. Then a sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade will do it.
