Its second candidate version Debian Installer for the upcoming version 11.0 Bullseye is available for everyone interested in trying out the new operating system.
Debian is one of the distributions that is always installed on my PC and I have been using it as the main operating system for years.
It is one of the most trusted distributions I have ever worked with and it is no coincidence that it is used as a base by hundreds of developers to develop well-known operating systems: see Mint, Ubuntu, MX Linux etc.
Of course I highly recommend it, but it is not for newcomers to Linux. If you are a beginner and find someone to configure your system (drivers) you will not need anything else. You set Debian (like CentOS) once and it just works.
The new Debian Installer Bullseye RC2 comes with the latest version of the Linux Kernel 5.10 LTS, brings an updated list of mirrors, and improvements to properly reinstall GRUB on BIOS systems. This RC also brings many improvements to the GTK toolkit, ensuring that the required user interface width does not fall below 300px.
The trial version of RC2 installer for Debian 11.0 "Bullseye" can be found at new version announcement page.
It should also be mentioned that this weekend, the Debian developers announced that the “full freeze” for the Debian 11 release will begin on July 17th. This means that package additions are over, and that from July 17th onwards, the dev team will only be working on improvements to the existing system.
So it seems that very soon we will see the official announcement of the new Debian 11 operating system.
