Debian 13.0 "Trixie" is now officially out as the newest two-year stable release to Debian GNU/Linux.

Debian 13 is powered by the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel, uses the GNOME 48 desktop by default, relies on the GCC 14.2 compiler by default, and has a wealth of other package upgrades like OpenJDK Java 21, Python 3.13, and many other updates.

Debian 13.0 is also the first time Debian has official support for RISC-V 64-bit, there is support for HTTP booting via UEFI and U-Boot, the 64-bit time_t ABI transition is complete, there is more work around reproducible builds, and a lot of other enhancements. Debian 13.0 is also delivering some nice performance improvements over Debian 12.
