"For some years now, the Raspberry Pi range of single-board computers has been the best-selling family of computers of all time. By its tenth birthday it had shifted some 46 million units, comfortably outdoing the estimated 12 to 30 million sales of the classic Commodore 64. From lurking in various Pi forums, the Reg FOSS desk has the strong impression that the majority of users run the stock Pi OS."
"The new version has a refreshed theme, wallpapers, icons, and so on. A new unified Raspberry Pi Control Center application integrates and replaces several separate settings programs. The Raspberry Pi Bookshelf application has been updated. It now flags paid content, and makes it easier to access it by letting subscribers log in. Under the hood, it adopts Debian 13's 64-bit time value, but it's also been refactored into several separate metapackages, to make it easier to build custom installations - and also to remove elements."
Debian 13.0 "Trixie" appeared earlier and Debian 13.1 followed in early September. Several downstream distributions are beginning to adopt the latest Debian 13 base. Crunchbangplusplus 13 updated in August, and Raspberry Pi OS has moved its base to Debian 13. Raspberry Pi OS includes refreshed themes, wallpapers, icons, a unified Raspberry Pi Control Center, and an updated Bookshelf that flags paid content and supports subscriber login. The OS adopts Debian 13's 64-bit time value and has been refactored into separate metapackages (Wayland, X.org, themes, Pi-specific apps) to ease custom installations. Official guidance recommends writing a fresh image to a new microSD card rather than performing an in-place upgrade.
