  For me the most important new things on Debian Trixie are the Linux kernel supports.

  First is the use of 6.12 where the kernel now starts to have real-time capability that was more than 20 years in the making "so now you can run your space laser or audio production without specialty patches" [1].

  Second is the official support for RISC-V64 on Debian Trixie [2].

  Looks like Rust 1.85 made it in[1]. So that's good news for packages that keep their MSRV at 1.63 only for compatibility with Debian stable releases.
