Woo! Noob question, but I've been using the debian apt repo for a while now, is there anything I need to do to use the stable repo, or does that happen as a side effect of the bookworm becoming stable?
You need to update your apt sources file. Here is the process. Run the following commands as root. Use sudo -s first to avoid having to prefix every command with sudo. This assumes you are running bullseye. If not you need to update to bullseye first.
Update your current installation first: apt udpate apt full-upgrade -y
Then upgrade: sed -i 's/bullseye/bookworm/g' /etc/apt/sources.list export LC_ALL=C apt update apt upgrade --without-new-pkgs -y apt full-upgrade -y

Hah, I'm so conservative (and don't really need anything new right now) that I'll still wait a month or so to upgrade
Same here. Still running Debian 11 and it's working well.
Does this have Gnome 44 along with its improved fractional scaling for Wayland?

So I had actually already done this when I switched to bookworm when it wasn't stable.
I am curious: what does setting LC_ALL do? I'm familiar with all the other commands though
I followed the instructions from here and it was included so I left it: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Bookworm/Upgrades
Someone much smarter than me explains it here: https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/87763
Great resources, thanks!
