Distribution Release: PureOS 11 |
|
Purism has announced the release of PureOS 11, code name "Crimson". PureOS is a privacy-respecting, Debian-based Linux distribution made for laptops, tablets, PCs and phones. The project's latest version is based on Debian 12 and is available in both GNOME and KDE Plasma flavours. "The moment we have anticipated is finally here - PureOS 'Crimson' is released. All devices running PureOS 'Byzantium' will receive the PureOS Upgrade application with their regular software updates. As with many prior updates, reliability and stability continue to play a major role in Crimson. We found and fixed a corner case that could cause systems to suspend unexpectedly when suspend is enabled. We fixed a crash that could occur when disconnecting an external display on the Librem 5 and Librem 11. The Librem 5's hardware killswitches can disable the internal accelerometer and other sensors, but in some cases this could cause the system to act like the sensor reported a value that didn’t make any sense. That could cause an unexpected screen rotation. That's fixed now - we'll now keep the last value correctly. PureOS 'Crimson' is designed to be our best PureOS yet. All Purism devices can benefit from this update, including our earliest Librem 13 and 15 computers." Read the rest of the release announcement for more details.
