- Debian 13 introduces new features like wcurl for easier URL downloads without remembering parameters.
- HTTP/3 support in curl is now available, making Debian the first stable Linux distribution to offer this feature.
- systemd soft-reboot allows for a faster userspace-only reboot, skipping the kernel reboot when unnecessary.
- The new apt --update option combines cache updating and package upgrading/installation into a single command.
- powerline-go offers a more performant, Golang-based alternative to the Python powerline prompt.
- Gnome System Monitor Extension provides a quick overview of system load directly from the top bar.
- Gnome settings now include a battery charging profile option to help preserve battery health.
- Lazygit offers a terminal-based UI for git, similar to Emacs' magit, for non-Emacs users.
- Neovim in Debian 13 comes with improvements like Treesitter support, better spellchecking, and OSC52 support.
- Bonus: Usable container images for all past Debian releases, including the very first one, are now available.
