<br>
Extensively quoting from Debian.org's release announcement 'Debian 12 <br>
"bookworm" released'[01]:<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
June 10th, 2023<br>
<br>
After 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days of development, the Debian project is <br>
proud to present its new stable version 12 (code name "bookworm").<br>
<br>
"bookworm" will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined <br>
work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.<br>
<br>
Following the 2022 General Resolution about non-free firmware, we have <br>
introduced a new archive area making it possible to separate non-free <br>
firmware from the other non-free packages:<br>
* non-free-firmware<br>
Most non-free firmware packages have been moved from non-free to <br>
non-free-firmware. This separation makes it possible to build a variety of <br>
official installation images.<br>
<br>
Debian 12 "bookworm" ships with several desktop environments, such as:<br>
* Gnome 43,<br>
* KDE Plasma 5.27,<br>
* LXDE 11,<br>
* LXQt 1.2.0,<br>
* MATE 1.26,<br>
* Xfce 4.18<br>
<br>
This release contains over 11,089 new packages for a total count of 64,419 <br>
packages, while over 6,296 packages have been removed as "obsolete". <br>
43,254 packages were updated in this release. The overall disk usage for <br>
"bookworm" is 365,016,420 kB (365 GB), and is made up of 1,341,564,204 <br>
lines of code.<br>

Instead of downloading a fuller official Debian 12 'bookworm' ISO via one <br>
of the above means, am myself rather _upgrading_ current 'testing' and <br>
'bullseye' installations in order to save bandwidth on the various <br>
download mirrors.<br>

11 (bullseye)'is at [08]<br>

- the Debian Wiki's 'DebianBookworm' is at [10] with less-complete upgrade<br>
instructions that at [08]<br>

less-complete than at [08]<br>

caution " YMMV. Caveat emptor. As the saying goes, "If it breaks, you<br>
get to keep both pieces." ;-) "<br>
<br>
As appropriately directed to Rick M, my own feeble excuse is petty <br>
_Procrastination_ for not yet carrying out his excellent steps in 'Debian <br>
8 "Jessie" OpenRC Conversion'[14] in weaning both Debian 'bullseye' and <br>
'bookworm' as much as possible away from systemd init and its <br>
dependencies. My humble apologies :-\<br>
