After 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 12 (code name “bookworm”).
“bookworm” will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.
It is very sad that this has become necessary, though. GPU and Wi-Fi vendors have delivered a serious setback on the path to computing freedom.
I think we would all vastly prefer that our computers worked just fine with 100% free code.
I guess we need open hardware for open drivers to be the norm.
This quite stupidly has some geopolitical implications as well, if “anyone” can manufacture decent GPUs, there goes the Western chip-making monopoly.
