  • Nala is a great apt frontend. It supports parallel downloads of packages and speeds up the whole process up a lot.

    Not sure which commands irk you as too long. Nala makes a good overview of changes like which package is bumped to what version and where it stands now. So I basically only use

    nala upgrade
    

    and take it from there. Updates the sources, lists the diff for upgradable packages and ask me to go forward or abort.





  • No, so far no bugs worth mentioning. All works well, apart from more incoming updates than usually on a Debian System.

    The problems I ran into were mostly with GNOME and Hotkeys for Apps in Wayland. Like Shift + F12 to open a Terminal does not work reliably when set in the Terminal app, but works well when set in the Gnome Settings as a global Shortcut. But I would file that under annoyance rather then a serious bug.


  • To add to this: Debian is pretty conservative in regards to package versions. The current and LTS versions usually have slightly older packages.

    If you don’t mind tackling more updates, I suggest Debian Testing. That is the stable development branch for the next major release, currently rocking it with Wayland GNOME on my DELL notebook and very happy with the results.
