It's kind of an addition to this question I asked. I would want to know if all of my installed .deb packages wont get removed. I have some like Discord.

Upgrades can require the replacement of packages, which can require/cause the removal of other packages to meet requirements. Your question though is broad & vague without limits. – guiverc Mar 11 '22 at 07:57

If you have manually installed deb packages, they won't get removed -- usually.
But there are exceptions.
A release upgrade or even just apt full-upgrade removes old packages if needed to perform the upgrade of packages to their latest versions. Also, new packages might get installed which could conflict with manually-installed ones.
In this case, you get asked if you want to accept the removal of these packages. You could look for a compatible package or accept that your system cannot be upgraded.
There is no universal solution, you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis.
