Kudos.

Upgraded my Chimaera desktop machine (installed from 20210426 alpha
netinst ISO and upgraded occasionally afterwards) to the released
version without issues, ...

... added APT sources for Daedalus and switched to that.

So far so good but I should mention that I have a rather parsimonious
setup, only 66 manually installed packages with their (Pre)Depends:
only, no wireless, no desktop (just a windowmanager, i3), for a grand
total of 651 Daedalus packages installed.

Now I need to find time to reinstall my Minifree Libreboot T400 with
Chimaera. That was installed way back using Devuan's beta2 netinst ISO
(201601123-13:47) for jessie and upgraded to ASCII and later Beowulf.
BTW, this machine is a lot less parsimonious and runs Xfce4, comes with
wireless network and pulls in Recommends: ...
Time to rethink and start that from a clean slate ;-)

Hope this helps,
