Debian 13 “Trixie” Released After 2 Years of Development
Debian 13 "Trixie" released with RISC-V support, GNU/Linux 6.12 LTS, APT 3.0, but 'reduced support' 32-bit PCs. The most predictably unpredictable release yet!

Debian 13 “Trixie” has just been released with Linux 6.12 LTS, GNOME 48 desktop environment (default), GCC 14.2 compiler, and over 14100 new packages for a total of 69830 packages. This follows the Debian 12 Bookworm release in June 2023 with Linux 6.1.
While we had previously tested Debian 12 on RISC-V, Debian 13 is the first release that officially supports 64-bit RISC-V. Debian 13 will serve as the base for Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, and many other Linux distributions.

Debian 13 – Jonathan Carter
One of the biggest and under-hyped features is support for HTTP Boot. This allows you to simply specify a URL (to any d-i or live image iso) in your computer’s firmware setup and then you can boot to it directly over the Internet, so no need to download an image, write it to flash disk and then boot from the flash disk on computers made in the last ~5 years. This is also supported on the Tianocore free EFI firmware, which is useful if you’d like to try it out on QEMU/KVM.
More details about Debian 13 available on the official press release.
The default theme for Debian 13 is Ceratopsian, designed by Elise Couper. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t 100% sure it was the best choice when it won the artwork vote, but it really grew on me over the last few months, and it looked great in combination with all kinds of other things during DebConf too, so it has certainly won me over.

What's new with Trixie?
This latest version features numerous updates and introduces some notable changes. Perhaps the one alteration that will hit old-time Linux users the hardest is that Debian will no longer support the 32-bit x86 architecture.
