thanks , it is not necessary to update, but since sometime i use "yt-dlp" it would be nice since on devuan 3.0 python is 3.7 only;

EDIT:

have seen that i have python3.8 already installed,

how could i use it / evoke before "yt-dlp" so could continue using Devuan 3.0 for some time?
put otherwise: how could i "bind" python3.8.2 to "yt-dlp" so that everytime it gets evoked , it would use "python3.8.2" instead of systemwide-python 3.7?

thanks.

EDI2:

on second thought, the original questoin still stands, since it might be necessary to update in the future if would like continue using this laptop on the internet;
thanks.
(how use nvidia-legacy-340xx-alternative or build nvidia-340 for newer devuan (devuan 4,5,6).
this nvidia-legacy-340xx-alternative is probably available only in sid/ceres?

HELL O,

i am thinking of updating the laptop running Devuan 3.0 to newer version;

is this upgrade path still valid; would need "nvidia-legacy-340xx-alternative" for graphics card acceleration.
what is the most viable path for update?

thank you very much.

edit:
(may be this is needed, too?)
