Linux Kernel 6.1ĭebian 12 'Bookworm' is powered by the recently LTS-approved Linux Kernel 6.1 that features experimental support for Rust, enablement of Intel Meteor Lake, improved ARM SoC support, and more. These changes will enable better support for different hardware running on non-free firmware, especially GPUs and Wi-Fi adapters. So, now the non-free firmware binaries will be enabled by default when it is ascertained that they are required. This was made possible thanks to the inclusion of Debian APT 2.6 which allows for better handling of non-free firmware on Debian. Take, for instance, the improved handling of proprietary firmware (non-free) for hardware, which has now made it straightforward to load up such firmware from within the installer. The installer on Debian has received various improvements that have resulted in improved hardware support and some exciting new features. The release date of Debian 12 has been set to June 10, 2023, barring any unforeseen delays.
