The X Window System (aka X.Org or X11) has been the default window system in many distros. Recently there has been a new window system called Wayland, so the joke would be that Debian is dropping X11 and switching to Wayland.

Following the worldwide hit "Paddington," one of the most successful family films of all time, this much-anticipated sequel finds Paddington (Ben Whishaw) happily settled with the Brown family in London, where he has become a popular member of the local community, spreading joy and marmalade wherever he goes.

Reuniting many of the original film's cast while welcoming those in new roles, "Paddington 2" stars Golden Globe nominee Hugh Bonneville ("Downton Abbey"), Oscar nominee Sally Hawkins ("Blue Jasmine"), three-time Golden Globe nominee Brendan Gleeson ("The Guard," "Into the Storm," "In Bruges"), Oscar nominee Julie Walters ("Billy Elliot," "Educating Rita"), Oscar winner Jim Broadbent ("Iris"), and Oscar winner Peter Capaldi (short, "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life"), with Golden Globe and BAFTA Award winner Hugh Grant ("Four Weddings and a Funeral"), and BAFTA winner Ben Whishaw ("The Hollow Crown") as the voice of Paddington. The starring ensemble also includes Madeleine Harris, Samuel Joslin, and Oscar nominee Imelda Staunton ("Vera Drake") as the voice of Aunt Lucy.

The film was produced by multiple award-winning producer David Heyman (the "Harry Potter" films, "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," Oscar nominee for "Gravity"). Serving as executive producers were Rosie Alison, Jeffrey Clifford, Alexandra Ferguson Derbyshire, Ron Halpern, and Didier Lupiter.

Paddington's return to the big screen was again helmed by BAFTA-nominated director Paul King ("Paddington," "Come Fly with Me," "The Mighty Boosh") from a script written by King and Simon Farnaby (Sky TV's "Yonderland," "Mindhorn"), based on the best-selling and internationally adored books by Michael Bond, creator of Paddington Bear.

"Believe me, I am the best at chasing squirrels. No one chases squirrels better than me. This squirrel was yuge, I tell you."

 
 

Widely regarded as the greatest British film of all time, and making its 4K debut, director Carol Reed’s noir The Third Man, brilliantly scripted by Graham Greene – and set to Anton Karas’s evocative zither score – is a justly celebrated classic further enhanced by Orson Welles in one of his most iconic roles. After writer Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten) arrives in post-WWII Vienna to meet his old friend Harry Lime (the incomparable Welles), he discovers Lime has been killed in a suspicious accident. As the accident’s witnesses disappear, the sardonic Major Calloway (Trevor Howard) and Lime’s mistress, Anna Schmidt (Alida Valli), complicate Martins’s search for answers regarding his friend’s death. But will his relentless curiosity lead him to discoveries about Lime he’d rather not know?
