It kind of makes sense, since Debian isnt rolling release model. But it seems like a huge pain to upgrade in this way. What I mostly dont like about rolling release, is that you have to upgrade all the packages when installing anything. Like when I was just running an Arch based distro in Virt Manager, it had to download over 1GB just to install GParted. This is just really annoying to me.
It is a pain when you skip releases. But one should be on the most recent version all the time. Letting it go for so long is the issue. 9 stopped getting security updates back in June of 2022. It should have been upgraded to 10 at least before that.
Yeah, lesson learned on this one. We installed Debian in 2017 (I think) and didn't bother with updating until now.
