Debian Libre 13.3 has been released, representing Debian 13.3 boot images stripped of non-free components such as firmware blobs. The project is being developed by Simon Josefsson, who maintains 170 Debian packages.
In accordance with a decision made in 2022, official Debian ISO images include both free firmware from the main repository and proprietary firmware distributed through the non-free-firmware repository. Debian Libre creates official live image editions for the x86_64 and ARM64 architectures, allowing you to run or install Debian 13 without using non-free components.
Live builds with GNOME, KDE, and Xfce come with the Calamares installer. A "standard" build without the graphical environment (1.9GB) and a stripped-down "slim" build (750MB) are also available. ARM64 builds support ADLINK Ampere Altra and MSI Z790-P WIFI PRO i9-14900K Dasharo desktop PCs, Framework 13 AMD AI 9 HX 370, Lenovo X201 i7-620M, and NovaCustom NV56 Intel Ultra 7 155H i915 Dasharo laptops, and Dell PowerEdge R630 2xE2680v4, Protectli VP2440, and Supermicro MegaDC ARS-110M-NR Ampere Altra Max servers.
