So, I’ve had a Raspberry Pi 4 sitting brand new in a box for a few years, and decided to install BirdNetPi on it yesterday.
It’s working like a champ, but because BirdNetPi needed a legacy version of Raspian, it’s got old software on it.
Is there any way to update the software (i.e. RealVNC) without updating the OS? There is no built-in software updater, and I seem to very easily break Linux every time I make an attempt to use it. LOL
Ah makes sense. Still there should be no issue with doing stuff the normal way.
apt updatedoesn’t update your OS to a whole new version.The command for an OS update is something like “do-release-upgrade” (but I forgot the exact name since I havent used debian for years)
Only on Ubuntu based distros AFAIK but
sudo do-release-upgradeis the correct command
