Keeping Your System Up-To-Date

For both security and functionality, it's important to keep your operating system up to date. This can be done the same way as with any Debian system, namely through the apt package manager.

Regular Everyday Updates

To refresh your local package database, allowing you to install new packages and upgrade old ones, run
sudo apt update

To then upgrade your installed packages, you can run
sudo apt upgrade

Tips to keep your system Stable: Don't Break Debian

Updates That Require Manual Intervention

Since not everything that makes up Plebian is provided by a .deb package, we occasionally require manual intervention to get you into the same state as a new set of images.

To find out when and how to do this, please consult UPGRADING.md in the Plebian quartz64-images repository.
