Debian 13.6 Trixie has released live images featuring volatile RAM sandboxes, which erase all configurations and packages upon shutdown, promoting a clean testing environment. The release includes stability updates for desktop environments like GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, and Xfce 4.20, focusing on smoother navigation rather than new features. It also addresses the expired 2013 UEFI Secure Boot certificate with updated packages and implements critical security patches across various software, including Chromium and Firefox. Users are encouraged to familiarize themselves with persistence documentation to avoid confusion, as this sandbox environment is designed for safe testing without affecting the main system
