Raspberry Pi Zero W v1.1 trials and error

[robo-tech1]

so the Dev asked me to start a log/blog of my experience with using my setup.

materials:
-Raspberry Pi Zero v1.1 WH
-PiSugar 2 battery for Pi Zero
-Waveshare ETH/USB HUB HAT
-32GB UHS Class 1 PNY elite-X micro SDHC
-5v 20mm x 20mm fan connected to GPIO
-2TB Samsung 870 SSD in a USB portable enclosure

So... I initially loaded the latest stable release of 1.115 onto the SD directly, then setup the ArozOS from the instructables/ Github pages and got used to the layout and did some light customizing, since it was running so well on the Pi Zero W. But then when i tried updating the system via the terminal emulator on the webpage gui, i wound up running into trouble. Couldn't call up the update repositories. then when i forced an update and full upgrade, I crashed the Pi. Causing it to shutdown mid-upgrade. A simple manual restart of the power switch got me back up and running.

After speaking with the Telegram Dev group, I decided to enable SSH and go in that way to do a:
"sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y"
this started out well and i accepted the apt-secure(8) requests, that was ultimately my down fall. After getting past the first commands and the Pi starting the full-upgrade it proceeded about 50% of the way and then i lost my connection to the server. it crashed... and crashed super hard. it corrupted the SD card entirely. wouldn't even post. So now i am going the long way, about to start setup of Raspian OS lite and get everything updated first through command line then compile ArozOS. will update the blog in the morning if i have time.

quick update:
upgrading from Buster to Bullseye so ill see how ArozOS behaves on the base OS from raspberry. fingers crossed it all works!
