How awesome that on the fediverse you can follow our Peertube TROMhome channel directly via tromhome@videos.trom.tf - no need to have any Peertube account. Follow it from your Friendica, Mastodon, or whatever network you are using.

For what it's worth, I had more problems updating Ubuntu on my wife's old laptop from 22.04 LTS to 24.04 LTS than I did migrating my laptop from Debian 11 to Debian 12... But I don't have server stuff running on either of those, so I don't have the complexity you have!
