Trisquel GNU Linux 12.0 LTS released
Trisquel GNU/Linux 12.0 LTS arrives as a Long Term Support release that guarantees security updates until May 2029 while strictly adhering to the free software mandate. The project splits this update into distinct flavors like MATE and KDE for desktops while keeping a barebones LXDE edition alive for those stubborn machines from ten years ago. Users swapping over will find Abrowser 148 and Icedove 140 ship as defaults instead of forcing them to hunt for replacements later on. Kernel choices lean heavily on Linux-libre with version 6.8.x as standard but a Hardware Enablement Stack is available for anyone needing newer driver support.
