Debian 13: My list of new features

I probably should install Debian on one of my machines. Used it as my daily driver for a long time before switching to Ubuntu, and, more recently, to Fedora. It still feels like a Linux with a strong emphasis on user ergonomics.

Is `sudo apt upgrade --update` really that big of a QOL improvement over `sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade` (or an alias for the same)? Or is there a difference in terms of performance or something else that I'm missing?
