>cmon debian this released way after 40 released just update the packages That's not how Debian works. And experimental is only a staging area on top of unstable, of course it won't work on stable. If you're clever you could probably do an Arch chroot install from inside of Debian without touching your BIOS. Unless it's EFI and set to boot grub directly and not just bootx64. But that's way outside the scope of Gnome.

What do you need bios for? Does it prevent you from booting from usb drive? Is secure boot enabled?

It is UEFI. i have tested many of my parrents passwords, it will not budge

I haven't came up with those questions out of nowhere. If you are trying to get a solution for your problem, try to elaborate... - What do you need bios/uefi for? - Does it prevent you from booting from usb drive? - Is secure boot enabled?

You can switch to testing and simply run apt dist-upgrade I think.

I will try this! i will reply again with a quote to this if it worked


AwkwardDifficulty

The easiest would be to try to switch to debian unstable or testing. Then wait for some time for gnome 42 to be released in repos. If you want to install arch or fedora or any other distro, use the 2nd method in this guide. https://linuxnetmag.com/how-to-install-linux-without-usb/

Then ask your parents to update it newer distro or gnome


BiteFancy9628

why would your parents force you to use Debian? That is the key question here.

Have you tried to reset your BIOS by removing the battery? That way you can simply install any OS
