i installed debian with KDE for a friend years ago... is there a way to upgrade to bookworm using the "discover" GUI? or are they going to have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list?

not they they are incapable of doing something simple like this, but just wondering if there is a GUI method to do a full version upgrade

thanks

my point is, there is already a GUI app for software updates.... KDE discover. but i wasn't sure if it had the ability to do a full version upgrade.

seems like it would be a simple thing to add... a dialog that says "do you want to upgrade to debian 12/bookworm?" and then it automagically edits your sources.list for you

i guess if it doesn't exist, i could submit a feature request
