Post #3585084

Debian 13 (Trixie) household installation progress:
As of a couple of weeks ago, stable-backports now includes kernel 6.16.3. This is a nice improvement for me because jumping from 6.12.41 to 6.16.x means I'll get a bump of the `xe` GPU driver which includes fan speed reporting for my Intel B580²!
I do not strictly _need_ this feature, but it is still very nice to have.
