Debian 13 arrives with major updates for Linux users - what's new in 'Trixie'

Trixie drops 32-bit x86 support but adds RISC-V and more. Here's how to try it yourself.

GNOME 48's most noteworthy feature is that its dual Wayland and X11 screen compositor, Mutter, now supports dynamic triple buffering. This support means that whether you have a top-of-the-line Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 or a low-end PC with integrated graphics, you'll still get significantly smoother animations, noticeably fewer dropped frames, and more fluid transitions. Behind the scenes, Apt 3.0, Debian's default software package installation program, now comes with colored output, a new signature verification backend (Sequoia), apt-key deprecation, and simplified source management via the .sources DEB822 format.
