The release of the Mobian 13.0 project has been presented, which develops the Debian GNU/Linux edition for smartphones and tablets. Builds are available with user interfaces based on GNOME and KDE technologies — Phosh and KDE Plasma Mobile. The project is developed within the Debian infrastructure and, where possible, is based on standard packages from the Debian repositories, along with a small number of additional packages. Ready builds are prepared for the x86_64 architecture (2 GB with Phosh and 2.1 GB with Plasma Mobile), Purism Librem 5 smartphone, and various ARM devices on Qualcomm chips (Fairphone 4/5, Google Pixel 3a/3a XL, OnePlus 6/6T, Pocophone F1, SHIFT6mq), Rockchip (PINE64 PinePhone Pro, PineTab 2), and Allwinner Sunxi (PINE64 PinePhone, PineTab).
In the new version:
- The transition to the Debian 13 package base has been completed.
- The Linux kernel 6.12 is used for most devices (kernel 6.6 continues to be used for Librem 5).
