How to make Debian Linux Into A Rolling Release | DEBIAN SID

In this video, I show you how to transform Debian into a rolling release so that you can keep on nearer to the latest software. Arch Linux is better in terms of being “bleeding edge” but this does not make Arch/Debian any better or worse at all.

Step 1: Install Debian and update your system
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Step 2: Edit your /etc/apt/sources.list
Comment out or delete the repos related to debian software
Note: For (sid) unstable software, there are no security/updates because you’re on the latest software. Only main is being used.

Add the following lines:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main
deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ sid main

Note: You can use encrypted connections here and use https if you want(if the server supports).

Save and close.

Step 3: Upgrade and have fun 😉
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade

Its also possible to do things like mix testing and unstable but that sounds a bit messy for me so I didn’t mention it. Keep it simple 😉

There are some other dangerous branches that I didn’t mention because their descriptions, I feel, not necessary for daily use.

experimental
backport

pls like + sub :)))))))))))))
