Installed it on my desktop and the process was painful (my fault) because I ran out of space on my boot ssd (128Gigs) while doing the upgrades.
I don't really have much on my boot ssd and all my important data is on my laptop, backed up to my servers, or on my desktop's HDD. I did a fresh install with a kde live usb stick and that went smooth, until something with the nvidia drivers prevented the display server from launching.
Thankfully, I've been through this charade multiple times in the past, and I'm significantly more experienced in dealing with the kernel these days. Adding the nvidia-drm modeset kernel command line launch param worked, and my system is running deb 13. I'm so happy I have KDE plasma 6.
Overall, a one hour process. Could have been faster if I had free space on my system lol. I'm a bit more reluctant to upgrade my servers at the moment, but I may in the upcoming months.
One minor thing: they updated their apt sources (https://repolib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deb822-format.html, https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/498021/deb822-style-etc-apt-sources-list#583015). Idk why, but the installer didn't create & populate the .sources file. After a quick check of the man page, I created the file and it worked.
