Debian GNU/Hurd 2025 Released With Completed 64-bit Support, Rust Ported
Following this weekend's release of Debian 13.0 'Trixie', Debian GNU/Hurd 2025 has been released as the state of Trixie while running atop Hurd rather than Linux.
For now the recommended way of using Debian GNU/Hurd continues to be via virtual machines (VMs) given the limited hardware support for Hurd. * We now use xattr by default for recording translators, allowing to bootstrap seamlessly from other OSes, with mmdebstrap for instance * Rust was ported to GNU/Hurd. * Support for USB disk and CD-ROM was added through Rump * Packages are now available for SMP support, which is quite working * The console is now using xkb for keyboard layouts, and supports multiboot-provided framebuffer * Various other support were added (acpi, rtc, apic, hpet, ...) * Some documentation improvement was achieved * Various fixes have been included (irqs, nfsv3, libports, pipes corner cases, ...) Downloads and more details on the Debian GNU/Hurd 2025 release via the debian-hurd mailing list.
