    Good evening pepperminters, I have a question.

    I'm using Peppermint codename "bookworm" this version what exactly is it?
    "neofetch" command in terminal does not show in system version number
    Some say that the term "bookworm" is actually trial version and the term
    "bullseye" is the Stable version.

    I've been using this system since last year and so far I haven't had any errors or crashes.
    in the system. Yesterday I installed wine 9.0 on peppermint and I installed winamp and even
    Now everything works perfectly without any errors.

    This "bookworm" doesn't receive updates?

    Hi Rimana,

    This link will help explain Peppermint Versioning:
    https://peppermint_os.codeberg.page/html/#peppermint-os-versioning

    But to the BookWorm question. That is the latest stable version of Debian
    The "Numbered Version of Debian is 12.x" but they al so give each release a name.
    And that name for the 12.x is Bookworm, The previous version 11.x was Bullseye

    To read more about it look at this wiki
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian

    Here is the explanation as to why they use Toy Story names
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debian_version_history

    Bookworm does receive updates... in terminal if you do sudo apt update that will check to see if any are available if they are you can run sudo apt upgrade to install them

    hope that helps.

    Thank you very much boy.

    I wonder what will happen to the millions of PCs when it ends
    Windows10 support definitely, will they turn to Linux? or go
    bury 280 million like Atari did with cartridges?

    Here in my community computers like Sempron 2200+/Pentium II-III-IV/Celeron/
    Atom/Athlon DDR1/2 that were once loved, then forgotten and now all running
    peppermint linux except the pentium II that my neighbor decided to run puppy linux on.
