Debian 13 ("trixie") released

The Debian Project has released its latest stable version, Debian 13
('trixie'), which will be supported through 2030. This release
includes GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, Xfce 4.20,
Linux 6.12, GCC 14.2, Python 3.13, and
systemd 257.

This release contains over 14,100 new packages for a total count of
69,830 packages, while over 8,840 packages have been removed as
'obsolete'. 44,326 packages were updated in this release. The overall
disk usage for 'trixie' is 403,854,660 kB (403 GB), and is made up of
1,463,291,186 lines of code.

With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide
architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of
being 'The Universal Operating System'. It is suitable for many
different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from
development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web, and
storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance
efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages
in Debian's archive ensure that 'trixie' fulfills the high
expectations that users have of a stable Debian release.

Trixie adds riscv64 as an officially supported architecture, and
drops i386 as a regular architecture. Users with i386 systems should
not upgrade to trixie; the project recommends reinstalling them as
amd64, or retiring the hardware. See the release
notes and issues
to be aware of before installing or upgrading to trixie.
