Better late than never: PureOS 11 (crimson) is finally out, catching up with Debian 12 (bookworm) just in time for when bullseye/byzantium lose their extended security support next month. If you're still on byzantium, update ASAP! It's a solid improvement over both byzantium and plain bookworm. 🧵

While it's still not exactly on the bleeding edge, it's a significant step forward. Lots of infrastructural blockers that prevented further development have been resolved in the process, and even though the base isn't very fresh, there's quite a bit of fresh work included too. I'd say the end result may even be more polished in some areas than in other up-to-date distros now (with a strong accent on "some areas", obviously, as they're clearly ahead in some others!)
Now moving onto the trixie-based PureOS 12 "dawn", which should become usable by early adopters in the coming months 🎉
Thank you for your support and patience on the way there 🤗
@janvlug There are several ways to get there, but pressing the Escape key is probably the simplest one 😀
@dos Cool, I learnt something new!
@dos Thank you Sebastian for all the hard and valuable work you've done to help make this happen!
@dos Thanks a lot for all your work on this!
How do you manage to show an "empty" screen so that you can see the wallpaper? If I close all apps, I see the icons of the available apps, and the Search apps... box.
I only see the wallpaper sometimes very briefly when opening an app.
