      Debian 11 ‘bullseye’ will be supported through to 2026, nice.
      AND will also provide support for 32bit architecture older systems.
      Nice to see Debian are doing their bit for the planet.

      FYI: In 2013 NASA chose debian over all other OSes for their portable devices on the ISS

      Windows - commercial by definition and now function...
