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!)
@dos Would you say Dawn might come quicker with all the set up work done in Crimson?
@f_underscore I have no crystal ball to look into, but Crimson has been exceptionally unlucky in this regard, with multiple mutually unrelated reasons for its delays. For Dawn, the "only" thing left is to actually polish the distro itself.
