One of the many advantages of Qubes OS is that in the worst case I would only destroy an emtpy VM :slight_smile:

Could someone give me the output of /etc/apt/sources.list for Crimson. I don’t have a crimson image installed right now. :laughing: Want to try an experiment

It would be not so easy as some heavy dev tools (like gcc-14, rustc-1.80, clang) should be rebuilt first… It could take a few weeks.

Hey all, on this topic, I have a L5 with an SD card and on the SD card I have an older Crimson image that I use for dumber things like Waydroid. If I do sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade will it get this new testing-worthy Crimson version?

I didn’t like to use the Crimson dual boot very often because the camera app didn’t work, and using a camera is one of the reasons for me to use my Librem 5 instead of my laptop.

So far Crimson looks very nice in Librem 5.

No, upgrading between releases between Debian requires changing APT source repositories, which may or may not work using the same method with PureOS.

Do you mean the camera doesn’t work in Crimson? What app you use? Are you able to get pictures in some other apps except millipixels?

You are a Hero for us. Thanks for all the work you do to keep Phosh updated via Backports.
I would like to see you working for Purism.
