Phoronix: Debian 12.0 Released - Powered By Linux 6.1 LTS, Easier Non-Free Firmware Handling

Following more than one and a half years in development, Debian 12 is officially shipping today as the latest major release for this long-maintained Linux distribution...

What's new:

• https://debian.org/releases/bookworm...ts-new.en.html

I'm a big fan of reproducible builds whose status you can track here. Hopefully they'll reach 100% someday and I want to hope that other serious distros will follow as well.

Why are all their links to downloads for 11.7?

Congratulations for release. There's no Linux without Debian.

It's not released. micronews.debian.org says images are still being built and tested, which seems like something that should already have happened. Someone pulled the trigger on the press release too soon.

haven't used Debian for decades, but I'm happy they're doing great!

Too bad that big repository doesn't include also Sunshine and Moonlight packages for proper game streaming!

Congratulations for release. There's no Linux without Debian.

But on the downside there would be no Ubuntu without Debian.

Yaaaaay Debian 12, here we go!

A thing I don't like one bit that I learned through the release notes (I think it was there) is that switching from GTK3 to GTK4 leads to a big loss of compatibility with screen readers like orca.

Since it falls into upstream and I don't use GNOME, does anyone know if someone cares about that among the GTK devs? Whether there are plans to tackle it or alternatives?

And with this annoying Nautilus bug unfixed. :-/
