The Devuan developers have announced the release of Devuan GNU/Linux 6.0, a systemd-free derivative of Debian 13 'Trixie'. Codename Excalibur, this version uses the Linux 6.12 LTS kernel for enhanced hardware support. It introduces several updates while maintaining compatibility with Debian.
Following the Devuan 6.1 Excalibur release, project images now support Raspberry Pi 2-5, with a reviewer testing strong performance on the Pi 5. This systemd-free Debian fork boots quickly, offers customization via a new menu-config tool, and requires manual GUI setup for desktop use.
