Will it come with a newer kernel than 5.19 when it will be released?
I wish Debian would come also with PipeWire installed by default.

There is 78 language translations for the DI Bookwork Alpha 1 release

Bookwork? Is that correct?

Maybe Debian has the less amount of spywares included in its products by default: geoclue should be the only. Others are features of applications. For instance, Network Manager has the feature "connectivity-check" (it's also a spyware without any doubt).

Installed bookworm couple weeks back, & pipewire was installed along with kde 5.25.4.
As for the kernel, Debian starts the freeze process sometime January/Februrary, So the 6.0 line might not make it in time for stable.

Thanks for the reply!

How did you manage to to install bookworm, where did you find the ISO?
Was the iso also coming with KDE or you installed afterwards?
Is this one good?

I find the Debian website insanely bad for finding the ISO files and the right ones.

Let's hope this time the installer supports configuring bonding finally...

Debian 12 (probably) will have the latest LTS kernel, probably 6.0 or 6.1. There is no announcement yet which Linux version will be next LTS.

*Sigh*, I literally just installed Debian Testing on a new machine like 2 days ago

apt-get dist-upgrade? What's the issue?

That would be great!

I hope that it will be 6.1, I don't mind to wait more for it.

Hilarious to see people complaining about kernel version when it's only 30 minutes to download the latest version from kernel.org, import the .config file and build their own.
