Developed under the Debian Testing umbrella, the forthcoming Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system series just received today the third alpha milestone of its installer, which lets people install the Linux-based operating system on their personal computers, servers, and IoT devices, such as the Raspberry Pi. One of the most interesting changes that caught out eyes is the bump of the kernel support from Linux kernel 4.13, which was used in the second alpha build, to Linux kernel 4.16. Of course, this means that there’s better hardware support, so chances are you’ll be able to install the development version of Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” on newer machines or if you have some exotic components on your PC.
