It always feels weird when Linux distro articles brag about new releases that are mostly just updated versions of third-party software. The stuff in the article (GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, python 3.13, etc.) have cool new features for sure, but it’s not like they were created by Debian.
That’s not a knock on the distro. Debian is great. It’s just a strange state of affairs.

> Here’s a quiet but powerful change: Debian 13 mounts /tmp as tmpfs by default
> Default tmpfs uses up to 50% of RAM (but only on-demand)
Total or free? Up to 50% total sounds like it might bring unexpected and unwelcome RAM usage spikes to the 1-2GB RAM servers.
Did they also tweak default swappinness to accomodate for the change and reduce SSD wear?
