After running in “Early Adopter” mode during the 25.10 development cycle I no longer seem to be able to set my update profile back to “General” despite running the stable release version of 25.10 now.
Does anyone know why this might be or if there’s any way to force it back on to the “General” track?
You can’t set it to “general” until you’re on a “general” release. You’re an early adopter until (probably) 25.10.2.
There’s not a realease avalable yet that’s tagged as “general” so that category is not yet available. You’ll have to be patient an wait for a release that’s deemed fit for general use to get that category.
It’s probably worth a few more words on this:
With most software, you’d expect a “stable release version” to be intended by the developer as suitable for general use. There are always bugs, of course, and it’s pretty common advice (especially for conservative users) to avoid a .0 release of anything, but that’s ordinarily the developer’s intent.
This is not the case with TrueNAS. A “stable release” is, according to their software status page (and if you ignore their social media presence), intended only for early adopters–it’s what most other developers would call “beta.” At some point presumably they’ll decide it’s suitable for general use, and that most often happens around the time of the .2 release. If previous patterns hold, that’d likely be February-March of next year.
