#Debian13 Will Aim To Include #GNOME48, #Debian/#Ubuntu Begin Packaging GNOME Papers
"After discussion with the rest of the #Debian #GNOME team, we decided to target GNOME 48 for Debian 13 “Trixie”. Our goal is to get GNOME 48 RC in before Debian’s Transition Freeze and 48.1 in before Debian’s Hard Freeze."
#GNOMEPapers will be available in Ubuntu 25.04 while it sounds like Ubuntu 25.10 is where it could potentially end up replacing #Evince as the default document viewer.

Done!

Installation was bumpy… The main issue was that I chose btrfs for /boot, which apparently needs ext4 instead.

Now I am getting this error message during boot, does anyone have any idea about how to solve this? (Please tell me I don’t need to reinstall…)

Apart from that everything seems to be working well! I will conclude the configuration tomorrow.

You are using /var/tmp for any purpose on #debian Switch away from it before Trixie #debian13 - it will be cleared on boot.

I am using it for persistant files between Debian-Installer and first boot e.g. pulling Ansible roles into var tmp and running them on first boot via /etc/rc.local

Will break with #Trixie
