Trying out a replacement would be an expensive experiment.
Without suitable test equipment or software diagnostics, the only option
is spare hardware and A-B testing. You have chosen fairly recent

CAUTION: Upgrading stable Trixie systemd-networkd might break your network
Hi,
Something to be aware of, in last few hours the first point release 13.1 of
Debian Trixie has occurred. I notice there is an open bug [1] [2] with
multiple reports of systemd-networkd segfaulting and leaving the system
picking a Linux distribution. I
doubt SSD vs. HDD will be of concern. If anything, a conventional
install on a read-write disk vs. a "live" install on read-only media is
of concern -- some Linux distributions offer one or the other. Debian
offers both.

I don't think you've posted your new layout, so I'm only guessing.
It's not the size of the disk (<2TB), but you did have the EFI in a
logical partition, not a primary one. AFAIK that's not necessarily
out of specification, but it might not be supported by your
particular machine's firmware.

If you have multiple disks with such, the result could be confusion and

mobile racks in my computers, putting each OS on its own disk, and
inserting only one OS disk at a time (except when I boot a live disk to

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519
