Debian has reached its 33rd anniversary and Haiku its 25th, with new versions of Debian released and Haiku still pursuing the BeOS vision.
Debian, a pillar of the Linux ecosystem, is celebrating its 33rd anniversary, while Haiku, which keeps the BeOS dream alive, marks its 25th. Both projects continue to develop actively.
New Debian versions have arrived in the form of 13.6 and 12.15. The project has also seen the final release of Debian on the x86-32 architecture.
Why this matters: The milestones highlight the continued relevance and evolution of two long-standing open-source operating system projects.
What this means for you: Users of Debian can update to versions 13.6 and 12.15, while those relying on x86-32 hardware should note that no further Debian releases will support it.
