From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hi, I've this situation when I apt upgrade. There are many pipewire-related packages kept back. Why? How can I solve it?
Thank you!
EDIT: dist-upgrade summary
EDIT2: Ok I solved it with
apt autoremove #only to remove old packages. It didn't solved the problem directly apt update apt dist-upgrade
Thank you, I updated the post with a summary of the dist-upgrade command
Looks like some incompatibility with the Nvidia drivers is hold some packages back.
You say that because they are listed as removable? If so because I updated from 515 to 525 months ago and today from 525 to 535. I think they are still there but are not used anymore and are safe
You're totally right, I had glanced too quickly and thought they were "removed"
~~Sounds as expected~~
