[[!meta title="Tails 5.9 is out"]]

We are sorry that Tails 5.8 affected many of you so badly.

Thanks to your patience and feedback, we were able to solve most of these new issues.

<h1 id="fixes">Fixed problems</h1>

Update the *Linux* kernel to 6.0.12. This improves the support for newer hardware in general: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on. ([[!tails_ticket 18467]])

Remove from the Troubleshooting Mode 2 boot options that break support for some graphics cards: `nomodeset` and `vga=normal`. ([[!tails_ticket 19321]])

Please let us know if the support for your graphics cards has been fixed or
is still broken.

Fix starting AppImages that use the Qt toolkit like *Feather* and *Bitcoin-Qt*. ([[!tails_ticket 19326]])

- Fix at least 2 cases of Persistent Storage not activating:

When activation takes longer ([[!tails_ticket 19347]])

Please keep reporting issues with the new Persistent Storage. We give them
top priority!
