Debian Officially Welcomes Loong64 as a Supported Architecture (linuxiac.com)

Debian has officially promoted loong64 to a supported architecture, following more than 2 years of development in Debian Ports. With this change, loong64 is expected to ship as a fully supported architecture in the upcoming Debian 14 release, codenamed Forky, provided the remaining integration work proceeds as planned.

The announcement was made on the debian-devel-announce mailing list, as official status means loong64 will follow the same build, release, and security processes as Debian’s other primary architectures.

The initial bootstrap phase has already made substantial progress. An initial set of 112 packages was manually built and imported from Debian Ports, which was sufficient to create a working chroot environment and bring the first build daemon online.

Loong64 is the 64-bit architecture associated with the LoongArch instruction set, developed by China-based Loongson.
