PC/OpenSystems has announced the organisation has purchased the rights to the commercial Linspire distribution and its community branch, Freespire. PC/OpenSystems is re-launching these two, long-dormant Linux distributions with refreshed packages and features. The new releases, Linspire 7.0 and Freespire 3.0, are based on Ubuntu.

NuTyX is a French Linux distribution (with multi-language support) built from Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch, with a custom package manager called "cards". The project has released a new development release, called NuTyX 10.0 RC1, which features updated desktop packages, Linux 4.14.10 LTS and a new graphical package manager. "No need to use the command line for searching, installing or removing packages. Flcards is now able to install directly a graphical interface, you can choose between LXDE, LXQt, MATE, GNOME, KDE5 and Xfce4. A GUI is now available for all those tasks. The ISO containing the Xorg graphical server is coming with the Flcards package manager so it's possible to make the post-installation in graphical mode. Flcards is using administrator rights without password. If you're again this rule, get rid of the flcards package and use the CLI or edit the /etc/sudoers file to your fit." Further information on the new release candidate can be found on the project's news page. Download: NuTyX_x86_64-10.0-rc1.iso (998MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

feren OS is a desktop Linux distribution based on Linux Mint's main edition. The feren OS distribution ships with the Cinnamon desktop environment and includes the WINE compatibility layer for running Windows applications. The project's latest snapshot features many new wallpapers, a new software manager and an updated theme manager: "Software has been replaced, by Software Manager. Before you say anything, I made sure this was the Software Manager I wanted, but ever since I saw the first ever screenshot of the newly revamped Mint Software Manager, I knew that was what I wanted a Software Center to be like in feren OS, until it gets its own one, so, when Mint 18.3 was released, alongside upgrading feren OS users to the base of 18.3, I also made a quick job at replacing GNOME Software with Mint's one, in the most user-friendly way possible, without getting in the way of users, and yeah, this is the new Software Center feren OS uses, and already, it does package and app searching from PPAs way better than GNOME Software did. Also, Flatpak is also now installed too." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (SHA256): feren OS x64.iso (1,970MB, pkglist). |

"Today we are proud to release siduction 2018.1.0 with the flavours KDE, LXQt, GNOME, Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, LXDE, Xorg and noX. The released images are a snapshot of Debian Unstable, that also goes by the name of Sid, from 2017-29-12.
