Nice... so it still gets new versions of Firefox, LibreOffice etc ? That is if 6.x come out, 5.x will still get package updates ( not just security updates )
Understood. So say that 6.x comes out and I want to move to that, I would have to reformat the entire disk and lose all the partitions, folders, subfolders ( data ) on it ? So if i have a 8TB disk ... I would need to have another 8TB disk for a backup ?
Thank you in advance.
