 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 done that and check there is at least 1 snapshot).
-Assuming you are on Debian Stable (as of writing it is called bullseye) and you want to change to Bookworm (the testing version) you just edit one file and change the names appropriately. Eg:

 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.
