Question about Pis and Pi-Hole. I had mine running "Raspberry Pi OS" (aka Raspian) based on debian 10 (buster). I tried to upgrade it by pointing sources.list to bullseye. Apparently that is a big no-no. Now it is in a half functional state.

The official way to upgrade the Raspberry PI OS is to reimage the SD card. I am going to reimage it, but I am debating whether to go "raspberry Pi OS" or go straight to Debian on Pi ( https://raspi.debian.net/tested-images/ )

I do mainly use it to run Pi-Hole.

Thanks,Chad

Curiously, it began to work, kinda, this morning, but still isn't blocking anything from a list of adult sites that I added. Note: my Windows 10 client is using the Pi-hole server as its DNS (10.0.0.18).
