It would be unwise to underestimate the impact on ANY platform, including all 64-bit platforms.
This is likely the biggest transition I've seen in my ~15 years of using Debian.
Do NOT underestimate its impact.
Some tips:
- Do NOT use full-/dist-upgrade. People should generally not use it, but that's especially true now
- Waiting is a virtue. Forcing things (which is what full-upgrade does) is generally a bad idea. Even more now. All the issues will be fixed/resolved over time.
- Do NOT use the '-y' parameter to apt and READ all that APT is telling you it's about to do. Responding 'N(o)' has always been a valid response and even more now.
