Debian is one of the oldest GNU/Linux distributions and is the basis for many other Linux-based operating systems, including Ubuntu, Kali, MX and Raspberry Pi OS, among others. This operating system focuses on stability and does not pursue fancy new features, so it usually takes a long time to release a new version

In late July this year, the Linux distribution Debian 12.1 was released. This version mainly fixes many security issues such as system user creation.
