I just did a successful upgrade this morning from Debian 11 to Debian 12. I used https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade to do so. Without that, trying to go by the release notes only, I probably would not have been successful, and probably would have had to resort to doing a fresh install. Yes, I did look through the release notes, and did get good information from them. But I used https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade to actually get the job done. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade could use a tune-up, particularly the part about editing /etc/apt/sources.list, which IMHO could be worded a little more clearly. Bottom line, please do NOT remove https://wiki.debian.org/DebianUpgrade - it was a life saver for me! Just my 2 cents worth . . .
