@mikerspencer@mastodon.scot Sure, many of us do and the simplest approach is to simply _run the most recent LTS_ as the distro is forward-compatible. That is not different than installating any other...

Thanks! At first, apt complained about missing libicu70 which is not in lunar, but adding the jammy repo to my source.list allowed to install everything. Thank you for all of the things you do for debian and ubuntu!
