Marco M. Mariani has announced the availability of a major update of MODICIA O.S., a Debian-based multimedia distribution designed primarily for musicians, graphic designers and video makers. This is the project's first build based on the recently-released Debian 13: "The new MODICIA O.S. 6.12.41, code-named 'Caravaggio', marks a remarkable leap forward in the Linux experience.

The Cinnamon 6.4.10 desktop environment has been redesigned and reconfigured to offer a smoother, more modern macOS-style interface, with improved Wayland support and optimized window and multitasking management."
