After two years of development, Debian 13 Trixie has been released
Debian 13 Trixie, which has been in development for two years, has been released today. It features support for the 64-bit RISC-V architecture and APT 3.0 as the default package manager. Support for other architectures has been retained: amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, ppc64el, s390x, with partial support for i386 as a legacy architecture.
The new operating system received the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel, a kernel with a long support period (until December 2026). APT 3.0 becomes a standard, with a new source format (deb822). The operating system has received security updates - protection against ROP/COP/JOP attacks on amd64 and arm64, HTTP Boot, HTTP/3 support in cURL, etc.
The release includes updated desktop environments. Available in the release: KDE Plasma 6.3.6, GNOME 48, Cinnamon 6.4, Xfce 4.20. A new graphical theme "Ceratopsian" is available. The visual theme "Ceratopsian" (after the character Trixie from Toy Story) was chosen by the community.
Bottom line.
Debian 13 "Trixie" is a stable release with support for modern architectures (including RISC-V), updated security, a modern APT package manager, the latest kernel with long-term support, and new, not boring wallpapers. This is a major update that will shape Debian's development for years to come.
