-This is very easy. Both Ubuntu and Debian have a single file to modify, assuming you have not added 3rd party repositories, and a couple of commands can then bring your install to the testing version. On Ubuntu this is Ubuntu+1 and on Debian this is Debian testing.

-As you have already configured Timeshift, this is safe since you can just roll back if anything breaks. See the Timeshift section on how to do this (and configure if you have not yet don that).

-I replaced 'bullseye' with 'bookworm' and 'impish' with 'jammy' in the two screenshots. Ensure you change all instances of the name and scroll all the way through the file to change every instance:

-If a line had something like 'impish-updates' I changed it to 'jammy-updates' and so on and so on.

 Notes:
-If anyone has any other notes or useful commands or things about Apt or Sources in general, add them here.
+From now on you can check weekly for updates, to do this just always do these commands:
+<code>
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
+sudo reboot
+</code>
+Then your system is kept up to date :) - also if you wait long enough your testing version will realign with stable when it is released so you can eventually stay on stable if you have a need, simply by waiting long enough.
