Debian 13 "Trixie" GNU/Linux operating system is finally released on Saturday, 9 August 2025. This is a Long Term Support (LTS) release with five years of support until 2030 and has been developed for two years since the previous release. It includes full and complete set of tens of thousands of software packages. Trixie is available for almost all types of computer available in the world and we can download it for desktop and laptop for PC 64-bit (also known as amd64) and many other computer architectures (except now Debian no longer supports PC 32-bit aka i386) as detailed below plus further instructions.

This listing collects desktop notes applications including sticky notes that we recommend for Ubuntu 24.04 Noble Numbat. We included here KNotes, which are well-known and full-featured, and also Affiche.app which just works but less-known, among others in order to promote them to more users (and open the opportunity for more people to get involved in the project). All applications are available in the official repository and no third-party sources required. Now, let's start exploring them!
