That\u2019s an impressive leap, considering how many other distros have been hovering at or above kernel 5.4 for some time now.<\/p>\n<p>A newer kernel <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a>ly means better hardware support, especially if you\u2019re using newer hardware.

The total number of packages rounds up to a whopping 58,000.

Notably, you\u2019ll find the GNOME desktop environment (DE) now at version 3.38, while contemporary distros like Fedora 34 and Ubuntu 21.04\u00a0are shipping with GNOME 40.<\/p>\n<p>Other standard Debian DEs are seeing upgrades as well, including Xfce moving to\u00a04.16,\u00a0LXDE to version 11, LXQt to 0.16, MATE to 1.24, and KDE Plasma to 5.20.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improvements_in_Printing_and_Scanning\"><\/span>Improvements in Printing and Scanning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Printing and scanning are getting easier with Bullseye thanks to improvements in the CUPS and SANE utilities.<\/p>\n<p>Some printers and scanners require special, sometimes proprietary drivers to work with any given device. Requirements like this might annoy you, especially when other peripherals like keyboards and mice work without flaw im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>tely upon connection.<\/p>\n<p>CUPS and SANE, the utilities for managing printers and scanners on Debian, respectively, are being upgraded with better abilities to handle those devices. So, if\u00a0you have a printer or scanner that typically needs specific drivers to work with your device, Bullseye could make it work out of the box. The Debian team <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.debian.org\/releases\/bullseye\/amd64\/release-notes\/ch-whats-new.en.html#driverless-operation\">reports<\/a> that this should work especially well with printing or scanning devices \u201cmarketed in the past five years or so.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Improved_Password_Security\"><\/span>Improved Password Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Debian 11 is replacing the default encryption algorithm for local account passwords with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.openwall.com\/yescrypt\/\">yescrypt<\/a>. Buster used SHA-512 by default and didn\u2019t support yescrypt. This change addresses some security and efficiency concerns seen in SHA-256 and SHA-512. Notably, Fedora Linux is expected to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/fedoraproject.org\/wiki\/Changes\/yescrypt_as_default_hashing_method_for_shadow\">follow suit<\/a>\u00a0with its next release.<\/p>\n<p>For obvious reasons, this change has the potential to cause problems if you\u2019re upgrading from Buster to Bullseye. In that case, follow <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.debian.org\/releases\/bullseye\/amd64\/release-notes\/ch-information.en.html#pam-default-password\">Debian\u2019s recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Support_for_exFAT_Filesystems\"><\/span>Support for exFAT Filesystems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Previous editions of Debian relied on a special workaround using\u00a0Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) to mount and use\u00a0exFAT-formatted drives. With the new kernel in place, exFAT partitions are getting native support on Bullseye.<\/p>\n<p>This will come as a relief to those who often deal with external drives that were formatted on Windows or macOS devices. You\u2019ll find your exFAT drives mounting without issue, and the\u00a0package \u201cexfatprogs\u201d allows you to create your own exFAT partitions.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Install_or_Upgrade_to_Debian_11\"><\/span>How to Install or Upgrade to Debian 11<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This article only covers a fraction of the changes in Debian 11.
