NEW • Distribution Release: LibreELEC 12.2.0 |
Rate this project
|
The development team behind LibreELEC, a multi-platform Linux distribution featuring the Kodi media centre, have released a new update, version 12.2.0. This is a minor update that improves support for Intel hardware and upgrades Kodi to version 21.2: "LibreELEC 12.2 with Kodi 21.2 'Omega' is released. The main purpose of the LibreELEC 12.2 release is hardware support - bumping kernels and display components to better handle current and recent Intel hardware and keeping Raspberry Pi boards aligned with RPiOS. The release contains Kodi 21.2 'Omega' with a small number of additional improvements that Kodi backported to Omega since the Kodi 21.2 release (no 21.3 release is planned). The NVIDIA Legacy 340.xx driver remained usable for six years after NVIDIA discontinued support, but it no longer compiles with the latest X.Org release so has been dropped from the Generic-Legacy image for LibreELEC 12.2 and the future 13.0 release. This impacts older NVIDIA cards, which are unfortunately the majority of active NVIDIA installations." Continue to the release announcement for further details. LibreELEC 12 is available for Raspberry Pi, Allwinner, Rockchip, Amlogic, NXP and generic x86_64 devices, as well as an OVA image for VirtualBox. Here is a quick link to the generic x86_64 variant: LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.2.0.img.gz (273MB). |

NEW • Distribution Release: EasyOS 7.0 |
Rate this project
|
Barry Kauler has announced the release of EasyOS 7.0, a major new version of the experimental distribution that changes several pieces of technology behind the scenes. "Compared with prior releases of EasyOS, the Excalibur-series is a 'whole new ball game'. All prior EasyOSs were built with woofQ; Easy Excalibur is built with woofQ2, that is a redesign of woofQ based on Debian's APT underpinning all package management. Easy has PKGget, a package manager GUI, that is able to install all kinds of packages, such as .deb, .txz, .rpm and .pet; that chameleon-like ability is retained, but now PKGget is a wrapper on top of APT. So now PKGget and APT talk to each other, and even if utilities such as 'apt' and 'apt-get' are used in a terminal, it will automatically sync in PKGget. Easy Excalibur is built with Devuan Excalibur packages, equivalent to Debian 13 Trixie, but without systemd. Instead, EasyOS uses the simple busybox init, enhanced with pup_event service management. EasyOS has inbuilt containers support, known as 'Easy Containers' and this is taken to the next level. In particular, there is now a pre-created container named "devx" that has everything for a compiler/development environment." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.

Exactly one year after Kaisen Linux's most recent release candidate, the project has announced version 3.0 of its Debian-based, desktop distribution. In an unusual move, the release announcement also includes a report that the distribution is being discontinued. "I would like to begin this blog post by announcing the end of the Kaisen Linux project with this latest release. I wish to embark on other professional and personal projects that will take up a considerable amount of my time, and for this reason, I can no longer continue developing Kaisen Linux. This release will therefore be the last. However, security updates will still be provided for two years, giving you time to switch to another Linux system and familiarize yourself with your new environment." The announcement goes on to share highlights of the new version: "KDE is now the default interface for Kaisen Linux, and is in version 6. SDDM is now the default display manager instead of lightdm. Lightdm was used instead of SDDM due to some missing customization settings, which were introduced with KDE version 6. Xfce is now available in version 4.20...."

NEW • Development Release: Linux Mint 22.2 Beta |
Rate this project

The Linux Mint team has published a new beta snapshot for the project's upcoming Linux Mint 22.2 release. The development snapshot mostly focuses on visual improvements, touching up the visual styles of the login page, software centre, and Hypnotix IPTV client. This release also includes a fingerprint authentication application. "Linux Mint 22.2 features a brand new XApp called Fingwit. This application is dedicated to fingerprint authentication. Fingwit detects if your computer has a fingerprint reader and lets you record your fingerprints. It then configures your system to use fingerprint authentication for: the screensaver, sudo commands, admin apps (pkexec). Note: If, like most users, you use home directory encryption or a keyring, the login screen still requires you to type a password. If you don't, you can configure Fingwit to also use fingerprint authentication in the login screen." A complete list of changes can be found in the what's new document. Additional information about the release can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes.

The Debian project has published install and live media for Debian 13 "Trixie". The project's latest release introduces RISC-V support, begins phasing out i386 packages, and offers Plasma 6 desktop. The new release also carries many more software packages in its repositories: "This new release of Debian comes with a lot more software than its predecessor 'Bookworm'; the distribution includes over 14,116 new packages, for a total of over 69,830 packages. Most of the software in the distribution has been updated - over 44,326 software packages (this is 63% of all packages in 'Bookworm'). Also, a significant number of packages (over 8,844, 12% of the packages in 'Bookworm') have for various reasons been removed from the distribution. You will not see any updates for these packages and they will be marked as 'obsolete' in package management front-ends. Debian again ships with several desktop applications and environments. Among others it now includes GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, LXDE 13, LXQt 2.1.0 and Xfce 4.20.
