+## Upgrade from 23.05 to 23.11
+
+* https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-23-11-released/36210
+
+Change the tracking branch of nixpkgs from 23.05 to 23.11:
+
+```shell
+niv modify nixpkgs      --branch   nixos-23.11
+niv modify home-manager --branch release-23.11
+```
+
+Update `home.stateVersion` to `home.stateVersion = "23.11";` in order to match the NixOS channel.
+
+Read the release notes. GNOME 45: Notably, Loupe has replaced Eye of GNOME as the default image viewer, Snapshot has replaced Cheese as the default camera application, and Photos will no longer be installed.
+
+Updating with nixos-rebuild boot and rebooting is recommended.
+
+```shell
+niv update && colmena build --on yodaTux -v --show-trace && colmena apply-local --sudo boot
+```
+
+TODO: Update yodaHedgehog and yodaYoga with `boot` (!)
