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.
