Debian backports for firmware

Just wanted to share this with everyone who is a Debian user. The kernel maintainers have finally created a backport of the firmware package for bookworm. You don’t need to manually pull from testing or upstream anymore if you pick this.

Just to clarify, does this mean that it’s no longer necessary to get a newer kernel when using Debian stable?

This is for the GPU firmware package. I think you should still get a newer kernel too.

Ok, thanks
