Grml 2024.12 – codename Adventgrenze

Picture with metrics of three user profiles on GitHub.com, with many contributions especially in the last quarter of the year

We did it again™! Just in time, we’re excited to announce the release of Grml stable version 2024.12, code-named ‘Adventgrenze’! (If you’re not familiar with Grml, it’s a Debian-based live system tailored for system administrators.)

This new release is built on Debian trixie, and for the first time, we’re introducing support for 64-bit ARM CPUs (arm64 architecture)!

I’m incredibly proud of the hard work that went into this release. A significant amount of behind-the-scenes effort went into reworking our infrastructure and redesigning the build process. Special thanks to Chris and Darsha – our Grml developer days in November and December were a blast!

For a detailed overview of the changes between releases 2024.02 and 2024.12, check out our official release announcement. And, as always, after a release comes the next one – exciting improvements are already in the works!

BTW: recently we also celebrated 20(!) years of Grml Releases. If you’re a Grml and or grml-zsh user, please join us in celebrating and send us a postcard!
