thanks. I did all that. Is it safe to reboot? don't want to ruin the machine

[SOLVED] what did I do to debian 13.0? I can only access the backup install in c/linux@lemmy.ml

if by fresh install you mean nuking the old partitions and installing brand new 13.0 from an usb stick no, this is not a fresh install, fresh as in just now installed

I am running trixie

in /etc/apt/sources.list.d there is only one txt file named debian.sources, as explained in debian's instructions page. Is that wyat you mean?

I also updated grub after freeing some boot space: sudo update-grub2

upgraded from 12.11 to 13.0. I just deleted some old kernels and freed some space in the boot partition. Could this be the reason? not enough free boot space?

I edited the new debian.sources file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d according to debian instructions, started to upgrade and successfuly upgraded to 13.0, at least core debian (can use mpv, vlc, thunar, libreoffice...)

Problem is, this notebook with debian 13.0 doesnt have a working network manager and there are still 900 packages that need upgrading.

The command I entered in the terminal: sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service returns: unit NetworkManager.service could not be found.

I have an android phone I thought I could use as a network hotspot or maybe tether, but debian 13.0 doesnt recognize it, so I really dont know what to do

Lan cable didnt work either.

Help appreciated

ETA: THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR AWESOME HELP!!!

special thanks to InnerScientist and stuner for their approach but what worked was what IHave69XiBucks proposed.
