Phoronix: Debian 12 "Bookworm" Enters Its Hard Freeze

Following last month's soft freeze for Debian 12 "Bookworm", this popular Linux distribution is now in its hard freeze until its release time...

They are so busy doing this that they are neglecting the release of Debian 11.7 which was scheduled for mid-February ;-(

Already on Debian 12 Bookworm, pretty solid distro. I get lowest idle power usage of all distros I tried, don't know what is the catch.

There is no Bookworm "Alpha 3" (or will they call it "Beta 1") release yet, for a downloadable installation iso:

There is always a catch and in this case it is sacrificing some comfortability for freedom, the right to use, etc... Personally I would call this a benefit 😉

Did KDE Plasma 5.27 make the cut?

I'm using it for 6 months [cinnamon] . Nice and gentle as always .
As usual, I have a little problem: the performance governor .
I want to configure it for always stay in "performance" mode and persist the configuration.
For the time being, after turning on the pc, I run a script to change the governor (as root).

#!/bin/bash
echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

In case anyone have a better and more elegant solution, thanks in advance .

If You are using cpufrequtils then just set the GOVERNOR variable in /etc/default/cpufrequtils.

However, I would probably just use the cpupower (from the linux-cpupower package) with a simple systemd unit like this:

[Unit]
Description=CPU governor service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cpupower -c all frequency-set -g performance
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
