Debian 11, codenamed “bullseye”, has been released after just over two years of development. It has lots of updates, including to half a dozen different desktop environments, lots of tools and programming languages, and, of course, more. It is available for nine different architectures.
This release contains over 11,294 new packages for a total count of
59,551 packages, along with a significant reduction of over 9,519
packages which were marked as “obsolete” and removed. 42,821 packages
were updated and 5,434 packages remained unchanged.“bullseye” becomes our first release to provide a Linux kernel with
support for the exFAT filesystem and defaults to using it for mount
exFAT filesystems. Consequently it is no longer required to use the
filesystem-in-userspace implementation provided via the exfat-fuse
package. Tools for creating and checking an exFAT filesystem are
provided in the exfatprogs package.
