raymac46 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Debian Bookworm becomes Stable on June 10. I've been using it for a while as the Testing release and it's pretty good. I'll roll over into Stable and after a couple of weeks switch to Trixie (the next Testing.) I run it on a non-mission critical old laptop. https://www.theregister.com/2023/06/05/debian_12/ Edited June 6, 2023 by raymac46 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Bookworm is now the stable Debian 12 release. The non-free firmware is now in a separate repo so it's important to add non-free-firmware as a separate item in the sources.list file. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrat Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Release Notes for Debian 12 (bookworm), 64-bit PC The installer will ask if you wish to add non-free-firmware to sources. Most likely you will need it. If doing an in-place upgrade, you may need to add it. I have a Bookworm installed from the RC, will slowly transition to using it as daily driver. I don't usually do in-place upgrades as I see it as spring cleaning to remove the plethora of tweaks and packages I only installed out of curiosity. Bullseye is now oldstable and Buster is oldoldstable. From today's Bullseye update: N: Repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'st able' to 'oldstable' N: Repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security InRelease' changed its 'Sui te' value from 'stable-security' to 'oldstable-security' N: Repository 'https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates InRelease' changed its 'Suite' value from 'stable-updates' to 'oldstable-updates' 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it wasn't a new repo but adding non-free to the repo line. Adding it to the installer as an option is neat though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raymac46 Posted June 11, 2023 Author Share Posted June 11, 2023 No my sources.list did not have the non-free-firmware repo added because previously all the firmware came via non-free. I have main contrib non-free non-free-firmware on the line. I have been running Bookworm for a couple of years as Debian Testing. I'll roll with Bookworm for a week or so and then I'll likely switch over to Trixie and use the Testing distribution again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raymac46 Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Well it's time to to join the rodeo and do some bull riding or bronco busting. I've had a week with Bookworm stable and I'm switching to Trixie testing. This is usually an insane move at this time in a Debian release cycle but I'm not really using the PC for anything serious so if I get 300 packages updating at a time that is OK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
