The Debian Project has announced the release of Debian 13.2, the second point update to the Debian GNU/Linux 13 Trixie series. This update includes 123 bug fixes and 55 security updates, arriving two and a half months after Debian 13.1. It provides refreshed installation media for new deployments.
On November 15, 2025, the Debian Project made Debian 13.2 available as the latest point release for the Debian 13 “Trixie” operating system. This follows Debian 13.1 by two and a half months and targets users seeking updated installation images, particularly for new hardware or to resolve issues with prior ISOs. The release announcement emphasizes that Debian 13.2 is the recommended ISO for fresh installations, sparing users from downloading numerous post-install updates via repositories.
In total, Debian 13.2 incorporates 123 bug fixes across miscellaneous packages and 55 security updates. Further details on these fixes are accessible on the official release announcement page.
Installation images support multiple architectures: 64-bit (amd64), AArch64 (arm64), RISC-V 64-bit (riscv64), PowerPC 64-bit Little Endian (ppc64el), IBM System z (s390x), and ARMhf (armhf). Live images for 64-bit systems come preinstalled with various desktop environments, including KDE Plasma 6.3.6, GNOME 48, Xfce 4.20, Cinnamon 6.4.10, LXQt 2.1, MATE 1.26.1, and LXDE 0.11.1. Additional options include a “Junior” edition featuring the IceWM window manager and a “Standard” edition without a graphical interface.
For current Debian 13 “Trixie” users, no reinstallation is necessary. Updates can be applied via terminal commands: sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade, or through graphical tools like Synaptic Package Manager. To verify the Debian version, users can run cat /etc/debian_version in a terminal.
The Phoronix report confirms the release, noting dozens of fixes, aligning with the detailed counts from the Debian announcement.
