Jeremy Davis has announced the release of TurnKey Linux 17.0, a new stable version of the project's highly-specialised, single-purpose set of server appliances. The project's version 17.0 is based on Debian 11 and includes an experimental build for Raspberry Pi 4 computers: "I'm excited to finally announce the stable release of Turnkey 17.0. It has been a bit of a slog, taking way longer than I had hoped and there are only two this time. Regardless, we've finally made it to the stable release milestone, at least for Core and TKLDev. Hopefully we can keep the momentum up and have more v17.0 appliances ready really soon! In the meantime, these two new version 17.0 appliances are published to our mirror network and are also available for download direct from their relevant appliance pages or launched directly from the Hub. Finally, whilst I can't take any credit at all, I'm super excited that community member Yannick has produced 'preliminary' Raspberry Pi 4 builds." See the release announcement for further details. Here are the download links to the "Core" and "TKLDev" (TurnKey Development Toolchain and Build System) editions: turnkey-core-17.0-bullseye-amd64.iso (339MB, SHA512, signature, pkglist), turnkey-tkldev-17.0-bullseye-amd64.iso (419MB, SHA512, signature). |

Simon Long has announced an availability of the latest stable release of Raspberry Pi OS, a Debian-based distribution for Raspberry Pi range of low-cost mini-computers. The latest version, labelled as 2022-04-04, removes the default "pi" user from the system and makes the "setup wizard" compulsory: "Up until now, all installs of Raspberry Pi OS have had a default user called 'pi'. This isn't that much of a weakness – just knowing a valid user name doesn't really help much if someone wants to hack into your system; they would also need to know your password, and you'd need to have enabled some form of remote access in the first place. But nonetheless, it could potentially make a brute-force attack slightly easier, and in response to this, some countries are now introducing legislation to forbid any Internet-connected device from having default login credentials. So with this latest release, the default 'pi' user is being removed, and instead you will create a user the first time you boot a newly-flashed Raspberry Pi OS image." Here is the full release announcement. The Raspberry Pi OS IMG files are available for both armhf and arm64 architectures in standard, "full" and "lite" flavours. Here are the quick links to download the standard editions: 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-arm64.img.xz (757MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist); 2022-04-04-raspios-bullseye-armhf.img.xz (837MB, SHA256, signature, torrent). |

The project's latest release provides a dark theme, updated web browsers, a new kernel, and updated video support. "Version 3.4.5 has a stark jet-black theme.

Easy continues to ship with two web browsers, Firefox and the SeaMonkey suite. The latter is retained as some users like the Mail & News module and/or the WYSIWYG HTML editor.

The kernel has been upgraded from the 5.10.x series used prior to Easy 3.4.4." Further information is provided in the release announcement and in the release notes.
