Briefings

The Debian Linux project announced a community call for artwork submissions ahead of the upcoming Forky (Debian 14) release, with a deadline of November 26. The winning default theme for Debian 13 Trixie was Elise Couper's 'Ceratopsian' design, which was selected for its distinctively Debian aesthetic. The release names echo character names from the Toy Story franchise, specifically referencing the triceratops character Trixie from Toy Story 3. The Debian team cautioned against overly busy designs that could cause user fatigue, while acknowledging that incorporating Forky's googly eyes into the design would win the contest for the desktop wallpaper.
