After 1 year, 9 months, and 28 days of development, the Debian project is proud to present its new stable version 12 (code name “bookworm”).
“bookworm” will be supported for the next 5 years thanks to the combined work of the Debian Security team and the Debian Long Term Support team.
I don’t think so. Open source hardware only specifies what the hardware can do in terms of instructions, not in which quality in terms of speed or energy efficiency.
Producing high-quality hardware would still mean that you need the means of production and that will still be the same few people as now.
It would mean tho that the firmware and drivers will be open source.
