In this scenario if a user is using Debian 12 (Bookworm) and wanted to upgrade to Debian 13 (Trixie) it is possible to do by editing your /etc/apt/sources.list file and replacing Bookworm with Trixie.
Obviously consult the documentation and backup your files before making drastic changes to your operating system.
I’m new to Linux, do you just wipe your computer when switching distros or dual boot or what?
I HIGHLY recommend backing everything you give a fuck about and wiping the disk clean. Because windows breaks linux.
Before you look at a list of distros and wonder which one to install, choose if you are __:
Arch Linux -> if you think you know how linux exactly works (likely not)
Arch-based distros (CachyOS, EndeavourOS, etc.) -> If you want to use arch but with some help
Linux Mint -> Recommended for beginners.
Fedora -> It just works :tm:
Debian -> ol’ reliable
openSUSE -> If you tweaked windows
Atomic Distros -> if you want a system that you can’t break
Or if you want to be forced to learn how Linux exactly works lol
