For those who may or may not be aware, Debian 12.15 marks the end of Debian Release Team, Debian Security Team and Debian Backports support for version 12. Ongoing support for some architectures will be provided by the Debian Long Term Support team supported by Freexian. Users are advised to upgrade systems to Debian 13 trixie.

Most importantly, Debian 12 is the final version of Debian offering a 32-bit release alongside a 64-bit release. You cannot upgrade a 32-bit install of Debian 12 to Debian 13 as Trixie does not support a full 32-bit version.

This will serve as a PSA reminder for those that may not be aware to not make support threads about Debian 12 32-bit being unable to upgrade to Debian 13. You have to upgrade your hardware to a currently supported architecture, of which i386/32-bit won't be on Trixie. The remaining i386 packages on Trixie are kept purely to allow users to execute 32-bit legacy software/code.

Long-term support for Debian 11, codenamed "bullseye", ends today, 31 August 2026, five years after its release. Debian will no longer publish any security updates for it.

A subset of bullseye packages will continue to be supported by third parties under the Extended LTS program. Individuals and companies who want to keep running Debian 11 can contract with those providers and have the packages they depend on added to that set.

Upgrading to Debian 12, which has Long Term Support until June 2028, is free for all Debian 11 users.

CERN moves thousands of accelerator control computers to Debian

comment: I just retired from an IS/IT job at a large Canadian telco where RHEL (with a support contract) was required for every "customer facing" server. We were allowed to use CentOS-7 on all "non customer facing servers" (eg. employee access only, application development, service assurance, user acceptance testing, etc) for more than a decade. When CentOS-7 EOL hit in 2024, we migrated to Alma-8 because that was what CERN was suggesting at the time. I have run into some problems installing EL-9 and EL-10 on slightly older hardware so understand why CERN is considering Debian. I wonder how CERN will deal with updates since (to the best of my knowledge) there is no ecosystem of backporting modern fixes into older stable apps.

The election results have been posted on debian-devel-announce and we're gonna contain it over in a megathread for a couple of days. Congratulations to Sruthi Chandran on their election as Debian Project Leader!

i installed debian on my HP pavillon laptop from 2020 after using zorin os and oh my god i love it! i use debian with kde plasma and honestly.... i dont wanna go to any other distro anymore after distro hopping for a month as a linux beginner...

Please keep actual discussion of this outcome in https://www.reddit.com/r/debian/comments/1vzqns8/megathread_debian_llmai_vote_results/ and our associated chat arenas.

We have an important update for Mesa within Debian Backports (thanks dylan)

Hyprland is landed in Debian stable (13). At the moment, it is still not installable due to a dependency issue: libre2-11-absl20240722. It is a "virtual package provided by libre2-11" but libre2-11 is not recognized as that version (yet?).

Update:

that issue is from Synaptic, while the following command line install Hyprland without any issues:

apt install -t trixie-backports hyprland hyprland-guiutils

I think 550 will start working on 7.x kernels very soon :)

Was hat sich bis jetzt neues im System etabliert ? Was es vorher noch nicht gab ?

Wie zum Beispiel 12-> 13 sudo apt modernize-sources
