NEW • Distribution Release: SpiralLinux 12.231001 |
Rate this project
|
SpiralLinux is a selection of desktop spins built from Debian GNU/Linux, with a focus on simplicity and out-of-the-box usability across all the major desktop environments. The project's latest release focuses on audio output, touchpad input, and placing reasonable limits on Btrfs snapshots. "Low-latency Pipewire configuration: For this release all editions of SpiralLinux are now using Pipewire with a proper out-of-the-box configuration for low-latency (5.3ms by default) JACK-compatible live audio applications even on standard consumer hardware. The default configuration is unique to SpiralLinux and includes overrides to the default Pipewire configuration as well as a number of low-level system tweaks as recommended by rtcqs. This makes SpiralLinux an excellent base system for professional live audio production JACK workflows while simultaneously offering compatibility with normal PulseAudio consumer applications. To take full advantage of the low-latency JACK compatibility simply run sudo systemctl enable cpupower to enable the optimal performance CPU governor. Mouse and touchpad control: The libinput library is now used by default instead of synaptics for mouse and touchpad control, with important improvements for the logic of disabling laptop trackpads while typing. Snapper disk usage limits: The Snapper configuration has been modified from its defaults to not use more than 40% of the available disk space for its automatic Btrfs snapshots1 – 20% maximum for system rollback snapshots and 20% maximum for snapshots of user data in /home/." Additional details can be found in the project's release notes. Download (MD5, pkglist): SpiralLinux_Plasma_12.231001_x86-64.iso (2,322MB), SpiralLinux_XFCE_12.231001_x86-64.iso (2,038MB), SpiralLinux_Mate_12.231001_x86-64.iso (2,141MB).

NEW • Distribution Release: Linux Mint 6 "LMDE" |
Rate this project
|
The Linux Mint team have announced the launch of a new version of the project's Debian-based branch. The new version 6 (codename "Faye") of Linux Mint Debian Edition offers most of the same technology as Linux Mint's main, Ubuntu-based branch, but using Debian "Stable" as the core operating system. "LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for 'Linux Mint Debian Edition'. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE is also one of our development targets, to guarantee the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu. LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead. Known issues: to install LMDE on an existing LVM partition you must first remove it from the LVM volumes and groups to which it belongs; in manual partitioning mode, note that the installer will auto-mount all swap partitions, these partitions will also be placed in /etc/fstab in the installed system." The release announcement and release notes offer additional information. Upgrade instructions to assist users migrating from version 5 are also provided.

Updated base to Debian 12.1; heavily redesigned module creation and manipulation scripts; renamed scripts for better convention; added three new scripts - to create a custom core module, to merge two modules together and to extend swap space when building large modules; added the default behaviour to automatically move the newly created modules to the correct location; removed further unnecessary bloat from the final ISO image, reducing size to 380 MB; removed firmware module and instead included a tool named isenkram (this can be used with USB tethering to install required missing firmware)...."

KaOS is a rolling release, desktop distribution which is independently developed. The project places a strong focus on providing KDE/Qt software, running on the Plasma desktop. The latest snapshot of KaOS, version 2023.09, will likely be the penultimate release shipping with Plasma 5. "It is with great pleasure to present to you the September release of a new stable ISO. As you will note in this release announcement, work in KaOS is really shifting toward Plasma 6. This ISO is still Plasma 5 based and includes all the latest updates, but Plasma 5 & Qt5 are not where upstream development is anymore. Plan is to have this or the November ISO be the last Plasma 5 based stable ISO, after that, it will be Plasma 6 only. Major updates to the base of the system included a move to OpenSSL 3.1.3, fully updated Boost 1.82.0/ICU 73.2 stack, Alsa packages 1.2.10, kernel moved to Linux 6.4.16, Systemd 253.10, Python 3.10.13, Util-Linux 2.39.2, IWD 2.8, OpenEXR 3.2.0, and Libarchive 3.7.2."
