Version 1.2.6 is from Debian Stable. So, I guess you're reporting it from Debian Stable and not Trixie. > Hi, > > I just installed Debian Trixie on a laptop using the daily Debian > installer netboot image and selected the default desktop, Gnome.

Refer https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OfflineSystemUpdates. In short. we don't want to end up in a broken system (crash in the middle of upgrade etc), which is much harder to fix. During shutdown / restart, there is a checkbox in the dialog. which can be disabled to avoid offline updates. In which case, one can do "apt update" and "apt upgrade" to upgrade the system.
