Debian 12 should arrive at some point today. Been using RC for few weeks now and it's looking good here.

It's been officially released.
https://www.debian.org/News/2023/20230610

Hrm - other than that news item everything else on the Debian site acts like it hasn't been released yet. :/

And yet this Debian User Forum thread confirms it is happening: https://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?t=154821

Rather odd to not co-ordinate the news posting with at least the homepage and download page.


Anyhow, here's some URLs that anyone installing/upgrading will want to read:

* https://www.debian.org/releases/bookworm/
* Release Notes (English HTML amd64) - (others archs/formats/langs)
* Install Guide (English HTML amd64) - (others archs/formats/langs)

And of course the answers to the next few dozen Bookworm threads on LQ are likely to be documented in Chapter 5. Issues to be aware of for bookworm.

Just updated my Debian 11 KDE to Debian 12 without issue. Everything is running great.

Debian 12 (Bookworm) is working great hear also. Thanks to the Dev. team

Hope other find it a good.

Just noticed the download page has been updated with the new install ISOs.

I have just had a strange glitch after a fresh install of Debian 12.

I selected German as installation language and proceed deselecting Debian desktop environment and GNOME, but selecting SSH server in the tasksel step.

After reboot the login prompt came up, but I could not login on the virtual console neither as my user nor as root. Logging in over SSH also didn't work.

After rebooting into rescue mode, there was
in the systemd journal.

In contrast to what is described in this Slackware thread, I didn't press PgUp/PgDn.

Among the generated locales there were C.utf8 and de_DE.utf8 (the latter set as default), but no English locales. I generated en_US.utf8 and set it at as default for the system environment with
and could finally log in normally after that.

I did a clean install of bookworm back in January and just kept updating.

KDE Plasma 5.27 on a ThinkPad Z13.

Everything is great, we are running Debian on four ThinkPads. The kids run Gnome because it's simple for them, and the parents run KDE like we have for the past 20+ years.
