Introducing Voyager 12 Debian "Bookworm" in its final version, a 2-in-1 distribution that unifies the Gnome and Xfce desktop environments. This release features a completely redesigned style for the Gnome 43.4 desktop paired with the Xfce 4.18 desktop, creating a hybrid environment for both PC and Tablet users. The two desktops are distinct, and their respective applications seamlessly integrate within each environment. Built on the Linux 6.1 kernel and Debian 12 "Bookworm," this version offers new features, experimental Rust support, Intel Meteor Lake enablement, improved ARM SoC support, and more. Notable updates include the replacement of PulseAudio with PipeWire for enhanced audio and video handling. Voyager includes integrated options like Conky Control, Effects Gnome Shell, Repair, Screencast, Wine development, Steam Gaming, and carefully selected Gnome extensions based on PC needs. Additionally, the XFCE edition offers a specialized Gaming type GS profile. With an extensive collection of themes, wallpapers, essential software, and exciting additions like Scrcpy for mirroring smartphone screens, Voyager provides a comprehensive and up-to-date Debian experience. Debian 12 "Bookworm" boasts over 11,089 new packages, totaling more than 64,419 packages, while also removing 6,296 old or obsolete packages.

I've been using the Deb 12 version for a few years now.
I need to be on line as part of my job and I really enjoy the way this O/S is set up to make my job easier> It's pretty much everything one could want.
I do have issues with the Blue Tooth, it's a pain having to turn on my devices each time I need them , but otherwise, first class.
I'll be sorry when it expires as I very much prefer the "static" calendar over the Dev 13 scrolling version. But maybe that's just me.
