Gnome finally has fractional scaling in this one, for anyone wondering.

i know people usually are like, “oh cool new features”

but this has a security patch that will literally unblock my pipelines at work lol

Sorry, but 403GB?

That’s a lot of space for an OS, isn’t it?

Does this mean it will run properly on systems with multiple, different resolution, displays?

Should work as long as you're using Wayland. It works great for me in Fedora, and I assume Debian will have all the latest parts now too.

Oh! That's if you installed every piece of software they support! A regular installation is quite modestly sized, and install media is DVD sized.

I can see where that would be confusing though hehe

10 GB storage for default installation, 4 GB storage for commandline-only installation, 403 GB storage if you install every Debian package under the sun.

That's how much space the whole of Debian takes up. Every package for every supported architecture.

A bare minimum installation of Debian (meaning just command-line with a minimal number of programs) is probably around 1GB or so? They recommend at least 4GB space for a server install and 10GB for a desktop.

That threw me for a second too. I thought “that’s a bit of a leap”. Like others said, it’s everything, not just the recommended packages.

It's on Gnome 48. I think Fedora is on that?

I just looked, 11G on my laptop's /

Standard productivity stuff, I think the only extra thing is a flatpack of google earth which is 1.5G

Debian is releasing a Trixie Mattel edition? Is it all pink? How fun!

I doubt it's possible to have them all installed and have a functioning system anyway

Speaking of debian - anyone here running debian testing as a daily driver? I really enjoy debian as a kind of "default" Linux but the rare updates and the need to upgrade the whole system when a major update hits annoys me, so rolling release feels better, but I'm worried Debian Testing is unstable? But I've heard it's not so bad? Anyone got any opinion on that?

I find it a surprisingly low value. I can store all the current debian packages in my storage media at home, that's crazy! FOSS really tends to be lean and efficient.

Debian's releases are always toy story characters
