+Debian 12 'Bookworm' New Features and Release Date
+======
+
+Debian 12 is due for release soon. Learn more about its features and the release date.
+
+![debian 12][1]
+
+Debian's upcoming release code-named '**Bookworm**' is almost here, with many improvements and new features over [Debian 11 Bullseye][2].
+
+Debian 12 'Bookworm' **contains over 11200 new packages,** bringing the total to **over 59000 packages**!
+
+Most software included with Debian has been updated, with **9500+ packages being removed** for being old or obsolete.
+
+Are you excited? Let's see what's new in Debian 12.
+
+> 💡 The release date of Debian 12 [has been set][3] to **June 10, 2023**, barring any unforeseen delays.
+
+### 1. Updated Installer
+
+![a screenshot of the updated installer on debian 12][4]
+
+The installer on Debian has received various improvements that have resulted in improved hardware support and some exciting new features.
+
+Take, for instance, the improved handling of proprietary firmware (non-free) for hardware, which has now made it straightforward to load up such firmware from within the installer.
+
+This was made possible thanks to the inclusion of **Debian APT 2.6** which allows for better handling of non-free firmware on Debian.
+

+
+So, now the non-free firmware binaries will be enabled by default when it is ascertained that they are required.
+
+These changes will enable **better support for different hardware running on non-free firmware**, especially GPUs and Wi-Fi adapters.
+
+### 2. Linux Kernel 6.1
+
+![a screenshot of the neofetch output on debian 12][6]
+
+Debian 12 'Bookworm' is powered by the [recently LTS-approved][7] Linux Kernel 6.1 that features **experimental support for Rust**, **enablement of Intel Meteor Lake**, **improved ARM SoC support,** and more.
+
+You may want to go through our coverage to dive deeper.
+
+### 3. Updated Software Suite
+
+This Debian release also features an updated set of software that includes:
+
+- GNOME 43
+- KDE Plasma 5.27
+- Xfce 4.18
+- LXDE 11
+- LXQt 1.2.0
+- MATE 1.26
+- LibreOffice 7.4
+- Inkscape 1.2.2
+- GIMP 2.10.34
+- Vim 9.0
+
+> 📋 As [GNOME 44][8] was released at the end of March, it could not make it into Debian 12 due to schedule conflicts.
+
+The desktop environment upgrades sound good along with necessary application updates.
+
+### 4. PipeWire by Default
+
+![a screenshot of the pipewire version on debian 12][9]
+
+Great news for the [PipeWire][10] enthusiasts out there!
+
+Debian 12 is now at par with other leading distros, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Pop!_OS, etc., by providing support for PipeWire out-of-the-box.
+
+It replaces the aging [PulseAudio][11], allowing greatly improved handling of audio and video across the system.
+
+### 5. New Wallpaper
+
+![a screenshot of the new wallpaper on debian 12][12]
+
+Any new release of Debian also means the inclusion of new wallpaper and theming updates.
+
+Called '**Emerald**', this is a very clean-looking artwork style that seems to illustrate the properties of a gemstone, “_Elegantly polished and chiseled_.”
+
+The default theme, installer banners, and more feature this artwork style, as demonstrated in the screenshots above.
+
+You can check out its [gallery][13] for Emerald to know more.
+
+### 🛠️ Other Changes and Improvements
+
+The above-mentioned are not the only changes; here are some that are worth mentioning:
+
+- Non-free firmware packages are now handled with a dedicated component called 'non-free-firmware' in the Archive areas.
+- Go-based packages have limited security support.
+- Over 9519 packages were removed because they were old/obsolete.
+- Debian 12 can now detect Windows 11 in a dual-boot setup.
+- Added support for new ARM devices.
+
+So, wrapping up.
+
+This release of Debian is shaping up quite well, with many improvements and feature additions.
