Trixie will be released in the next days now. If you can't wait to test it, a Release Candidate version is available

It features the new theme and a new customization system called "Cloud-init". Obviously it's built on Debian 13, so called "Trixie"
Read the thread carefully if you need SSH activated at first boot
Been using it since day 1, it's great !
You might also use the Trixie nightly builds images :

They are safe. Do not have all the very new features (which come from a private repo) but it's a good way to check Trixie before it's officially released for RPI.
Alternatively, you can also generate with own Trixie installation images using "Raspberry Pi OS Image Creation : Made Easy"

It supports all versions for Bookworm and Trixie.
And if you prefer to upgrade from a fresh Bookworm, I gave the complete procedure here with an option to install KDE Plasma on top of it at the end. This is my main RPI5 setup, it's beautiful and it's rock solid!

But as already mentioned before in this thread, do not try to upgrade your current Bookworm install. Get a new SD card or USB stick and start from scratch. Then you can plug your current SD card and move your existing files to the new system easily
Have fun !
