Debian 9.13: Stretch has reached the end of its life cycle. Time to consider making the jump to Buster

Goodbye to Debian 9 Stretch

On June 17, 2018, Project Debian He launched a major update to your operating system. Yesterday, July 18, 2020 and 25 months later, he made available to us Debian 9.13, which is the latest update to the version of the operating system that uses the codename Stretch. Therefore, and if nothing very strange happens, users who are using that release will not receive updates again, at least none related to the system, which include security patches.

This is how they explain it in the note that They have published a few hours ago. In it we specifically read that «Users who want to continue receiving security support should upgrade to Debian 10«, But they also facilitate this link in which they give us details about the subset of architectures and packages covered by the long-term support project. In any case, the best and safest thing is to update.

Debian 9 users: upgrade to Debian 10 now

After this release, the Debian security and release teams will no longer produce updates for Debian 9. Users who wish to continue receiving security support should upgrade to Debian 10, or see https://wiki.debian.org/LTS for learn more about the subset of architectures and packages covered by the long-term support project.

Debian 10 I arrive in early July 2019 under the codename Buster. Currently, the project has already launched four maintenance versionsTherefore Buster is already polished enough to make the leap direct. Among the improvements that will be obtained, we can mention Linux 4.19 and updated packages. Regarding graphical environments, it is available with GNOME 3.30, Cinnamon 3.8, KDE Plasma 5.14, LXDE 0.99.2, LXQt 0.14, MATE 1.20, Xfce 4.12.

The next version will already be a Debian 11 which is currently under development. Debian releases its versions when they are ready with no strictly scheduled dates, but the 2021th version should arrive in early XNUMX.

    I would like but in debian 10 32bits the nvidia-legacy-304xx drivers do not exist and the nouveau in my opinion do not give enough graphic acceleration and going to 64 bits is not possible

    I would like to know why so many Linux distributions do not have enlightenment among the default options, even among the community versions of several of them, despite the fact that they are developed by and for users, enlightenment is not included in they. And generally, the majority of articles and praises to this environment, either are reviewed without recommending a specific distribution or they refer to its version 16 and not the most current one. Is there a problem with enlightenment, is it overrated or is it currently not recommended to install its latest versions or is it not a complete graphical environment suite; what about enlightenment ?.
