Debian 10 "buster" has just arrived and it comes with quite a few noticeable changes, as well as a five-year support period thanks to the joint efforts of the Debian Security and Debian Long Term Support teams. 

These are the main highlights of this new stable Debian build:

  • Support for the following desktop environments/applications: Cinnamon 3.8, Xfce 4.12, MATE 1.20, GNOME 3.30, KDE Plasma 5.14, LXDE 0.99.2, and LXQt 0.14.
  • More than 62 percent of the packages present in the previous release have been updated. These are some of the pieces of code included in Debian 10: Apache 2.4.38, Chromium 73.0, GIMP 2.10.8, LibreOffice 6.1, PHP 7.3, Ruby 2.5.1, Vim 8.1, and much more.
  • A total of over 59,000 ready-to-use software packages that were built from almost 29,000 source packages.
  • Support for ten architectures, including i386, x86-64, Motorola/IBM PowerPC, and MIPS.

Those who just want to take Debian 10 for a spin without installing it can do so by using one of the live images which can be found on this page. On the other hand, the installation images can be downloaded via BitTorrent — the recommended method, jigdo, or HTTP. Physical media from multiple vendors should become available in the coming weeks as well.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
