I always do an image backup of the system before a dist-update, I am now going back to where I had started from. My system is running like it has been. Ready to give it a try again.
Here is the output from running inxi -r:

To upgrade, I run this command, Mr. zerozero told me so:
- Code: Select all
sudo apt update && apt dist-upgrade
thanks for your help. really appreciated!
