Bookworm is oldstable 🐎

When I ran sudo apt update I noticed that the apt repos changed their suite value from stable to oldstable which means Debian trixie is now stable but if you want to upgrade to trixie I have a forum post here in this forum.

You can’t teach an old worm horse to use a new stable.

Yes I got it, horse Bookworm stays in the old stable, horse Trixie in a new modern stable.

Debian the Linux distro not horses.

There once were two distros in play,
Bookworm grew old, Trixie had her day.
The stable was swapped,
But I nearly got stopped—
‘It’s Debian, not livestock!’ you’d say.

I am talking about Debian trixie’s stable release not stables and horses.

If Bookworm’s in the old stable, does that make it the senior “stallion of stability”? And Trixie she’s the fresh filly with a shiny kernel sheen!

Let’s not start a barnyard brawl over Debian names—but if we do, I’m betting on Trixie to out-neigh the others.

em… there was “Rex” in the bloodline! sounds quite roar-ry, don’t you think?

I’m old enough to remember when Rex was still trotting around the paddock back in ‘96, kicking up dust and installing packages at a leisurely canter.

Back then, the only “stable release” was whether Rex didn’t throw you off mid-install.
Bookworm might be in the Oldstable now, Trixie’s in the shiny new stable… but Rex?

Rex was the wild stallion that founded the whole herd. No ribbons. No fancy kernel tuning. Just raw, neigh-powered freedom. :horse::dashing_away:

Bookworm’s retired, Trixie’s prancing—but never forget, Rex was the original warhorse of the stable. :horse:

if you wanna something fresh :window: :dashing_away:

may be it’s a good idea to leave tired horses :horse_face: to cowboys :cowboy_hat_face::horse_racing:

and choose a dramatic arch roll :woman_cartwheeling: :rainbow: ?

I felt the metaphors in this one were too ripe to pass up and rather useful for a limerick, so here’s an extraneous addition.

there once was a distro, i’m told,

that was built of parts new from the mold.

deft, sloping, and elegant,

stood stably on firm cement,

yet, strangely, still able to roll

and the most recent raspberry pi OS release is still bookworm and trixie isn’t expected for a few more months

so you are saying that while bookworm is old stable and trixie is a new stable, berries consumption makes the old stable the current stable and the new stable the future stable. makes sense!
