Debian 12 will be released on June 10, developers confirm that there are at least 100 known bugs

News on June 5th, according to foreign media Neowin, Debian 12 codenamed Bookworm is scheduled to be released next Saturday (June 10). Although Debian is known for its stability and reliability, developer Paul Gevers has publicly confirmed that the new version will be released with at least 100 known bugs.

Gevers said that once Debian 12 is installed on more computers after release, more bugs may be discovered, and the development team will only be able to patch them later and deploy them as updates. He said that these bugs will be included in the release notes. If users attach great importance to system stability, it is recommended to check the release notes to ensure that they will not be affected.

One of the advantages of Debian is that the project launches new ISO image files every two months and marks them as a new decimal point version (maintenance versions that do not include major updates), which will contain All latest fixes up to the time of release. Gevers said Debian 12.1 will be released around July, and users can delay installing Debian 12 until then if they need more stability.

Debian is not the most popular Linux distribution among end users, but it is popular as a foundation for other Linux distributions. For example, Ubuntu, the most popular Linux distribution, is based on Debian, and Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu. In order to prevent any problems with Ubuntu, the Linux Mint team also maintains a Debian-based version alone.
