Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian provides more than a pure OS: it comes with over 59000 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

I'm actually looking forward to trying the new @Raspberry_Pi desktop based on @debian Bookworm.

I've never run a desktop on my Pis, I run them all headless, but I'm curious what the performance is like now with Wayland and Pipewire (both things I run on my actual desktop/laptop).

I've got a Pi4 in an Argon One with m.2 SSD just waiting to try it.

First test will be 4K Netflix/Disney+ in @firefox thanks to that Widevine availability ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@Raspberry_Pi @debian @firefox Pipewire is a particularly great one for anyone who likes to listen to music with Bluetooth headphones that support high-quality codecs; Pipewire blows away Pulseaudio here both in codec accessibility and connectivity/re-connectivity.

Usability should be *chef's kiss*

Another great thing with Bookworm is LXD/LXC without snaps :) Native packages on the repository.

@TCB13 oh good! I hate snaps. It's the first thing I remove on any Ubuntu machine.

yeah me too, but until now the only way to get LXD on Debian was with snaps. Now its native!!

@TCB13 It was insanity that it was restricted to snaps in the first place.

Very happy about having native lxc/lxd back.

I followed the port of LXD for Debian and it wasn't a trivial job, (you know, Canonical and all) it almost didn't made it into Bookworm. LXC was previously available on the repositories but not LXD.
