Debian 11 “Bullseye” Linux 发行版的 7 大亮点

What is Debian 11

11 is the first to support the exFAT file system The Debian version of the kernel and uses it by default to mount the exFAT file system. It is therefore no longer necessary to use the userspace filesystem implementation provided through the exfat-fuse package. The exfatprogs package provides tools for creating and inspecting exFAT file systems.

Contains over 11,294 new packages for a total of 59,551 packages, while significantly reducing over 9,519 packages marked obsolete and removed. In addition, Debian 11 has updated 42,821 packages and 5,434 packages remain unchanged.

The long-awaited Debian 11 release codenamed "Bullseye" is finally here after two years of development. This release will be supported for the next five years, just like any other Debian stable release.

Feeling excited? Let's take a look at what's new in Debian 11.

1. New Debian 11 question

Debian 11 comes with a new "Homeworld" theme. It is inspired by Bauhaus, an artistic style born in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century that is characterized by a unique approach to architecture and design.

2. Newer version of desktop environment

Debian 11 includes newer versions of the desktop variants it offers:

  • GNOME 3.38
  • KDE Plasma 5.20
  • LXDE 11
  • LXQt 0.16
  • MATE 1.24
  • Xfce 4.16

If you use cutting-edge distributions such as Fedora or Arch/Manjaro, you may find this strange. But that's it. Debian prefers stability, so the version of the desktop environment is not up to date. Of course, they are still relatively new compared to previous Debian stable releases.

3. Software package update

Debian has updated its package repository. Debian 11 includes a whopping 11,294 new software packages, bringing the total number of packages to 59,551. 42821 packages have new versions. 9519 packages were removed.

In other words, you should see programs like LibreOffice, Emacs, GIMP, and variousand new versions of popular applications such as programming-related tools.

4. Linux kernel 5.10 LTS

Debian 11 comes with Linux 5.10 kernel, which is a long-term support (LTS) release. Debian 10 Buster was released using the Linux 4.19 kernel.

A new kernel obviously means better support for hardware, especially newer hardware, as well as performance improvements.

5. Improvements to printers and scanners

Debian 11 brings new package ipp-. It uses the vendor-neutral IPP-over-USB protocol supported by many modern printers. This means that many newer printers will be supported by Debian 11 without requiring drivers.

Likewise, the SANE driverless backend allows you to use the scanner with ease.

6. Support exFAT

You no longer need to use the exfat-fuse package to mount exFAT file systems. With the Linux 5.10 kernel, Debian 11 already supports the exFAT file system and uses it by default to mount the exFAT file system.

7. Still supports 32-bit

Is this a feature? Considering that now there are only A few Linux distributions support 32-bit architecture,I think it is.

In addition to 32-bit and 64-bit PCs, Debian 11 also supports 64-bit ARM (arm64), ARM EABI (armel), ARMv7 (EABI hard-float ABI, armhf), little-endian MIPS (mipsel), 64-bit little-endian MIPS (mips64el ), 64-bit little-endian PowerPC (ppc64el) and IBM System z (s390x).

Now you know why it's called a "universal operating system". 🙂

Other changes

There are also some changes in this version:

  • Systemd uses control group v2 (cgroupv2) by default.
  • New Fcitx 5 input method for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and many other languages.
  • Systemd journal logs are persistent by default.
  • A new open command that automatically opens files from the command line using an application (GUI or CLI).
  • Password hashing for local system accounts now uses yescrypt by default instead of SHA-512 for improved security.
