Let me slightly rephrase what I wrote earlier about keeping the system up to date:
Let me clarify what you got. You did not get a full blown Debian, but Debian minus the installer minus uboot, kernel, initrd and other small things like extlinux.conf.
Instead of the installer, you got an .img file. That's a pitty, but not relevant for keeping the system up to date.
Instead of getting uboot, the kernel and initrd from Debian you got them from Mrfixit.
* You need to update what comes from Debian with Debian's own commands:
or what amp prefers
It would not surprise me if there are GUIs around this task.
* You need to update what comes from Mrfixit by clicking on his icon.
I suggested some time ago in this very same thread https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...5#pid48815 to provide deb packages for Mrfixit's changes so that they would be seamlessly installed as part of the apt-get commands, but that has not happened. Now, we need to update both parts separately.
Also, you got Debian 9 although the latest Debian version is 10. Debian 9 gets long term (security) support till 06/2022.
