Hello everyone,
I'm glad to announce that the new Apertis v2026pre preview release is
now available!
Apertis v2026pre is the preview release of the Apertis v2026 stable
release flow and it is based on Debian Trixie. It will lead to Apertis
v2026.0 release in March 2026.
For more details about the Apertis release flows and support periods,
see https://www.apertis.org/designs/release-flow/
You can find the full release notes at
https://www.apertis.org/release/v2026pre/releasenotes/
This release ships the Linux 6.12 kernel and is based on Debian Trixie
but later releases in the v2026 channel will be tracking newer kernel
versions up to the next LTS.
Some highlights:
- Updates from Trixie
- Weston as default compositor
- SDK image rework
- Bugfixing

Thanks to everyone who contributed!
