For those curious, the plan is to include KDE 5.27 in a few days.

That's a nice set of software.

debian - always stable!- even in testing

That sounds like a pickup line at a bar.

I like what I'm seeing so far, looking forward to the release date

Debian folks, while cautious, have a lot of bleeding edge packages up to this point so that's good for testing and shaking out bugs as release day approaches. None of us should be surprised if KDE 5.27.2 or .3 makes it into final Bookworm since 5.27's an LTS release. I was hoping to see Mesa 23.0 make it but it's still delayed by bugs. Still, all that's made it into it presently will make for a stellar release upon which all other Debian-based distros will have a top-notch base to build from. Gonna be a great year for Linux!

That wasn't the intent.

That's because the floppy disk is in a solid state. The head has been seeking through the spinners looking for tail.


There's a joke about jacking into the wrong port in there somewhere

Dirty nerd jokes are the best humor.

Does this shut Bookworm's door for tomorrow's kernel 6.2 release? That's where Intel's Arc becomes stable. If so, that would be a shame.
