Debian 11, code-named Bullseye, was released today. If it’s not already available on your favorite VM provider’s panel, I suggest you own a thread on LowEndTalk and complain bitterly.
Major new features include:
- 5.x Linux kernel (5.10 to be specific)
- Updates to major packages and subsystems including GUI desktops (GNOME, Xfce, etc.) and desktop suites (LibreOffice, GIMP, etc.)
- Greatly improved support for modern printing and scanning devices
- systemd now uses control groups v2 (cgroupv2)
- Better input support for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages
- Support for exFAT filesystems
- Improved password hashing by moving from SHA-512 to yescrypt
- New software oriented towards COVID-19 research
All in all, this is more of an evolutionary release than a radical change, as is typical given Debian’s long tradition of stability.

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.
I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.
