Ignalum Linux
Ignalum was located in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The privately held company was founded in the year 2002 with a vision of creating a cost-effective, installation-friendly, complete Linux-based operating environment offering full Windows compatibility. Ignalum Linux was a complete, Red Hat and RPM-based operating system optimized for the i686-class processors. It contains an easy to use installation program, extensive online documentation, and a menu-driven package system. A full installation gives you the X Window System, C/C++ development environments, Perl, networking utilities, a mail server, a news server, a web server, an ftp server, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, OpenOffice Suite, Netscape Communicator, plus many more programs. Ignalum Linux can run on any P6-class and higher processors (but uses -march=i686 -O2 optimization for best performance on i686-class machines like the P3, P4, and Duron/Athlon).

Amy Eickmeyer has announced the release of Edubuntu 25.04, the latest stable version of the project's official Ubuntu variant designed to bring the freedom of the Linux desktop and the vast library of open-source education software into the classroom. "We are glad to let you know that we've released Edubuntu 25.04 and we've replaced some of our apps that were no longer supported with similar applications so you can still get the same wonderful experience. New features: this release includes GNOME 48; for Qt-based/KDE apps, we now include themes via Kvantum, mostly as a workaround for the inability to change the accent color in those applications; this theme is based on GNOME's libadwaita, on which the default Ubuntu theme (Yaru) is based; GNOME Notes is dead upstream, for that reason, we have switched to the resurrected GNote; likewise, GNOME Dictionary is also dead upstream and we have replaced it with Artha, which is more of a thesaurus but does dictionary operations as well. Known issues: upon first boot, the system will reboot - this is normal and is the mechanism to set the logo for the login screen; Artha will not launch on a Wayland session." Here is the complete release announcement. Download: edubuntu-25.04-desktop-amd64.iso (5,935MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

The Voyager project has released a new version of its Ubuntu-based distribution. The latest version, Voyager Live 25.04, is an interim release offering nine months of support. "I present you Voyager 25.04 final version. A 2-in-1 version with GNOME and Xfce desktops unified in a single distribution. Everything is presented in a colorful style, completely redesigned for this combination, the GNOME 48 desktop coupled with the lighter desktop of Xfce 4.20. In summary, two unified systems, GNOME and Xfce, light, fast, modern, fluid, secure and powerful in a hybrid environment for PCs and tablets. The two desktops are very distinct and their respective applications are mostly seamless, for either environment. Once installed, you can also remove GNOME or Xfce entirely. For the first time, we will be integrating ChatGPT, one AI Chatbot in the terminal without the need for API key in version 3.5, plus the ChatGPT 4th version mini GNOME extension and an option to remove AI." Further information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (MD5): Voyager-25.04-amd64.iso (4,250MB, pkglist). |

Rudra Saraswat has announced the release of Ubuntu Unity 25.04, the latest update of this Ubuntu community edition that integrates the Ubuntu base system with the Unity desktop (an interface which was used by all standard Ubuntu releases prior to 2017 when it was dropped in favour of GNOME). The release announcement warns of a last-minute bug that affects computers with a BIOS firmware: "Ubuntu Unity 25.04 'Plucky Puffin' has now been released. A bug affecting Ubuntu Unity, Kubuntu and Lubuntu was discovered a few hours prior to the release wherein manual partitioning installs on BIOS systems result in unbootable installations. As it could not be fixed in time for the release, we recommend that you do not attempt a manual partitioning install if your computer only has a BIOS. Upgrades from Ubuntu Unity 24.10 will usually be enabled within a few weeks of the release, upon which you should receive a notification prompting you to upgrade to 25.04." The latest release of Ubuntu Unity is available for download from here: ubuntu-unity-25.04-desktop-amd64.iso (3,652MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

The Ubuntu Budgie team has announced the release of Ubuntu Budgie 25.04. The interim release continues the project's transition to supporting Wayland. "The key focus for the team for this cycle has been the conversion of our distribution to a Wayland-based distribution. We have been working closely with our fellow Buddies Of Budgie maintainers. Excellent progress has been made towards this huge effort - we are almost there and we will be making available a 25.04 PPA specifically for our fantastic community to try and feedback. We will be shortly announcing the when-how-why in a dedicated blog post. Note - we intend to ship version 10.10 of budgie-desktop as a stable release for 25.10; this will be wayland only. For 25.04 budgie-desktop is X.Org Server-based and this PPA will give 25.04 users an easy way to try and give feedback. We are no longer including Thunderbird as part of our default application set. With many users now using webmail we have decided the choice of email clients should rightly be put into our community hands." The release announcement has additional information.

The Lubuntu project has released Lubuntu 25.04, an interim release which will receive nine months of support. The distribution's 25.04 release is one focused on transition and gradual changes as the project moves from Qt 5 to Qt 6 and from X11 to Wayland. "Our biggest point of refresh has been on two fronts, which we've previously laid out in our '24.04 LTS to 26.04 LTS' cycle plans: Port as much software as reasonable from Qt 5 to Qt 6. Get Lubuntu fully prepared for Wayland. Of course, some other items have happened, such as our move to Fancy Menu by default. This being said, Qt 6 porting and Wayland preparation were the primary points of focus. Again on the point of 'stability comes first,' we decided to delay Wayland one last cycle. This is the last time we are delaying this. Thanks to the warm welcome and support from the Mir team, Fedora LXQt, and a handful of other teams, we are proud to announce that Lubuntu 25.10, Questing Quokka, will indeed ship with Miriway as the default Wayland compositor, backed by a deb-based Mir 2.20."
