Steve Studios Inc. has announced the release of a new version of SDesk, an Arch-based Linux distribution with GNOME as the default desktop. The new version, called "20mini" and labelled as 2025.05.06, adds full SELinux support: "SDesk 20mini, contrary to its name, is the most substantial update to the SDesk distribution that Steve Studios has ever shipped. This massive update adds full SELinux support with a security policy specifically designed for Arch Linux. It is also the first version of SDesk to offer an ISO image with NVIDIA drivers. SDesk 20mini now includes the much more secure memory allocator, hardened_malloc, that is also used in systems like GrapheneOS, and it now restricts kernel pointer access in the proc filesystem for added security. This is also the first version to ship with built-in Java and Lua application support. 20mini also includes a firewall manager and desktop app, and now you can copy emojis directly from the status bar. You can also now view and select all of the old SDesk wallpapers used in previous versions right from the Settings app." Read the rest of the release announcement for complete changelog.

NEW • Distribution Release: Plamo Linux 8.2 |

The Plamo Linux maintainer group has announced the release of Plamo Linux 8.2, the latest release of the Japanese project's distribution that is loosely modeled on Slackware Linux and actively maintained since 2001. The new release provides updates packages, including Linux kernel 6.12.21 (with NVIDIA driver 570.133.07), GCC 14.2.0, LLVM 19.1.0, Mesa 25.0.3, Xfce 4.20, LXQt 2.1, MATE 1.28, Firefox 137.0, FFmpeg 7.1.1, TeX Live 20240313, LibreOffice 24.8.6. The developers have removed some unnecessary network-related tools and firmware during installation to slim down the installer; as a result, it is possible that hardware which was previously supported is no longer usable (due to a lack of firmware). In addition, there is a new tool, Plamo8_USBboot_img.zip, for booting from a VFAT-formatted USB memory stick. One copy the EFI, boot and GRUB directories present in this zip file to a USB memory stick and boot from the USB memory stick via UEFI (depending on the UEFI implementation). This environment includes network tools and a full set of Linux firmware, so it can also be used as a rescue system. Read the full release announcement (in Japanese) for further information.

Simon Long has announced the release of a new version of Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian-based distribution designed for the low-cost Raspberry Pi mini-computers. The 2025-05-06 version introduces new screen-locking and auto-login features: "We've installed a modified version of the swaylock screen locking application. Anyone who has used swaylock will be familiar with its somewhat minimal interface – when you lock the screen, you just get a completely white screen with no indication of what has happened or what you need to do. We felt this was a bit unhelpful, so we've added a custom frontend which gives a bit more feedback as to what is happening and what you need to do to unlock it again. You can now lock the screen by pressing Ctrl-Alt-L, or by choosing 'Shutdown' from the main menu and selecting 'Lock Screen' in the dialog. You'll then see the lock screen, with a password entry box." Continue to the verbose release announcement for a more complete list of new features and screenshots. Here are the download links to the "standard", "full" and "lite" editions for the arm64 architecture (pkglist): 2025-05-06-raspios-bookworm-arm64.img.xz (1,148MB, SHA256, signature, torrent), 2025-05-06-raspios-bookworm-arm64-full.img.xz (3,086MB, SHA256, signature, torrent), 2025-05-06-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz (424MB, SHA256, signature, torrent). |

NEW • BSD Release: DragonFly BSD 6.4.1 |
Rate this project

The DragonFly BSD project has published its first update in over two years. The update to the 6.4.x branch introduces several fixes in the kernel, userland and package manager. "6.4.1 fixes a number of small, long-standing issues, including: Fixed the issue that a pkg(8) update might delete the df-latetest.conf config file, which rendered pkg(8) unusable. Updated the shipped ca_root_nss package so that the newer Let's Encrypt certificates are trusted and thus pkg(8) works with the Avalon HTTPS repo. Fixed a memory leak in the legacy IDE/NATA driver that could easily lead to kernel panics. Expose SMBIOS entry point via kenv so dmidecode(8) works on UEFI-only systems." The release announcement lists other changes to drivers, system libraries the HAMMER2 filesystem, kernel, and userland tools: "date - Add the -I flag for ISO 8601 formatted output. lpr - Fix the '-i' option to allow an optional argument. last - Fix a seg-fault when time_t is out of range. man pages - Fix numerous bugs. newfs_hammer2 - Fix "-V 1" option (not that anyone should ever use it). makefs - Add HAMMER2 support. makefs - Allocate extra inodes when leaving free space in UFS images. makefs - Fix the calculation of file sizes. makefs - Do not assume that daddr_t is 64 bits, cast to 64 bits prior to intermediate multiplications."

The openSUSE project has announced the availability of openSUSE 16.0 beta, a development snapshot previewing features coming in the next version of the project's stable Leap branch.

Expected to be Wayland-only (some X.Org remnants remain for now). SysV init support has been dropped. The new Agama installer is now the default. The traditional YaST stack is retired in favor of: Cockpit for system management; Myrlyn as a drop-in replacement for the YaST Software GUI. (Note: YaST is still available in Tumbleweed but will no longer be developed; YaST has been removed from Leap 16 and Myrlyn takes on this role of software installation like YaST. If someone is interested in the maintenance of YaST for further development and bug fixes, the source are available on GitHub. Leap 16.0 will no longer run on machines that do not support x86_64-v2."
