Change Debian 13 Trixie to Debian Sid Forky

Change Debian 13 Trixie to Debian Sid Forky

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Change "trixie" to "forky" everywhere you see it. Save and close the document.

sudo apt update

sudo apt full-upgrade

After the upgrade has completed:

sudo reboot

Since this will change your apt sources to Forky, currently in testing, and is the best way to get the latest GNOME (currently version 49)

It works very well. Nautilus should now generate and cache thumbs for all image and video files on network drives (when the setting to do so has been activated), not just a random few of them without caching as with the locked version of GNOME 48 on Debian 13. You can also use Nemo as the file manager to get this function working correctly.
