 Well I was about to dive in and now I'm scared. But how would upgrading an Umbrel instance on a Linux box lose ssds?

 It’s not an OTA update. 

You need to make a backup of your data, wipe clean the Linux system and replace with Umbrel. 

This version is a standalone OS. Not like the one before when it lived in a docker on top of Linux. 

And apparently, people can’t find the SSD after the fresh installation.

 Oh. That's a bummer.

 Yeah, requires a lot of work to upgrade.

This does not look good. People really should just learn to install all the software themselves.

 It’s not good. It was a huge leap forward for the OS. Which now requires a complete migration and reinstall. 

It sucks.

 Dam. Just install Debian 12 and have it work for 5 years =)
