Upgrade Alpha releases within software #536

Open Guy559 opened 5 months ago

Currently, to update 64-bit pre-release software, a user needs to remove and reflash microSD card.

Would like a checkbox or other selection tool within “General” “Software Update” “Advanced” that enables OS to pull alpha pre-releases for install vs. just stable releases. I have RPi4 in a heatsink enclosure which makes accessing/removing/reinstalling microSD a time-consuming process.

No alternatives seem possible given this is a feature only available via software UI (or possible via SSH and CLI).

Running an alpha on such a robust and difficult to change client might not be the best idea. Any reason you can't wait for the release?
