Like I said in a previous post I upgraded my raspi model 4 to trixie (Raspberry Pi OS) successfully some weeks ago. It works fine, the only problem I had back then was configuring the network with a static ip (it is a usual thing).
Again, like I already said it pisses me off that I have to re-image the sd card to full-upgrade it. So I thought I should try to install "pure" debian instead of Rasberry Pi os and try to upgrade it by simply running apt full-upgrade (or dist-upgrade). So I did.
I installed bookworm and then upgraded to trixie. It was fantastic and super fast. So I think that from now on it is going to be a blast updating and upgrading my raspi.
But only time will tell. The fist problem I had after the upgrade (it was configured to connect with inet) was again setting a static ip. What the hell! What is going on with that freaking raspi firmware? I finally could configure it properly and well, here I am writing this post.
I have not installed a lot of software on it so far. I installed gpm, mc, byobu and weechat. I also installed network-manager because I imagined it would be easier to set the ip with it, but no luck. I removed it and continued with inet.
I don't know why it should be that hard, inet's config file is pretty simple in itself.
From:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
To:
iface eth0 inet static
heck!
