[NEWS] Debian 13 Trixie is out!

(1/2) > >>

tle:
The distro runs kernel 6.12 LTS and GNOME 48, GCC 14.2, OpenJDK 12, Python 3.13 and various updates (https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/whats-new.en.html#what-s-new-in-the-distribution)

Please be mindful about the problems with VMs on ppc64el (https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/release-notes/issues.en.html#problems-with-vms-on-64-bit-little-endian-powerpc-ppc64el)

I'm still waiting a bit before updating, what kind of problems are you talking about?

Sounds like issues of a mismatch between Debian's new default 4KB kernel page size and VMs with 64KB page sizes. You can install a kernel package enabling 64KB page size handling, or there are published workarounds if you're sticking to 4KB page sizes.

MauryG5:
I've always installed with the 64K option; I'm talking about when I compile my own kernel. However, on Debian 12, I couldn't do that on the latest versions because it never worked, and I don't know why. I've always had to fall back on the long-supported 6.1.1xx versions because I never had any problems with those, but with versions after 6.2, it never worked on my computer. Perhaps the problem lies in some driver that doesn't work on the Radeon 5700, but I'm not sure exactly. I hope they've solved it with Debian 13...

Hasturtium:
I’ve been running it on my Blackbird with a Radeon W6600 for the past week and it’s been great. This is the happiest I’ve been with a distribution since Void Linux ppc64le.
