Distribution Release: Voyager Live 12 |
|
Voyager Live is a project which offers Debian- and Ubuntu-based flavours of a desktop distribution. The project has announced the release of Voyager Live 12, which is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm". The new version focuses on improving the availability of firmware for fresh installs. "With numerous Themes and Wallpapers and essential software and many other new features to discover like Scrcpy to have your smartphone screen on your PC. Debian 12 'Bookworm' contains over 11,089 new packages, bringing the total to over 64,419 packages. Most of the software included with Debian has been updated, with over 6,296 packages removed because they are old or obsolete. The installer on Debian has received various enhancements which have resulted in better hardware support and exciting new features. Take, for example, improved handling of proprietary (non-free) firmware for hardware, which now makes it easier to load these firmwares from the installer. This was made possible through the inclusion of Debian APT 2.6 which allows for better handling of non-free firmware on Debian. So non-free firmware binaries will now be enabled by default when it is verified that they are needed. These changes will allow better support for different hardware running on non-free firmware, especially GPUs and Wi-Fi adapters."
