NEW • Distribution Release: GParted Live 1.7.0-8 |
Rate this project
|
Curtis Gedak has announced the release of GParted Live 1.7.0-8, a new stable release of the project's Debian-based specialist live CD designed for disk partitioning and data rescue tasks. This release release drops support for 32-bit processors due to Debian's decision to no longer pack i386 Linux kernel and it also updates the Linux kernel to version 6.12.37. "The GParted team is pleased to announce a new stable release of GParted Live. This release includes GParted 1.7.0, updated packages and other improvements. Items of note include: only amd64 (x86-64) images are available going forward - as mentioned in the Debian release mailing list, dropping i386 kernel packages, the i386 Linux kernel packages were dropped in our upstream, Debian 'Sid' repository, hence i686/i686-pae GParted Live will be no more in the future; from this release on, only amd64 (x86-64) release will be available; includes GParted 1.7.0; implemented a mechanism to reduce the possibility of random order of block devices in GParted Live; based on the Debian 'Sid' repository as of 2025-07-12; Linux kernel image updated to 6.12.37. X Desktop GUI fails to display with default boot options? Try Other modes of GParted Live - GParted Live (Safe graphics setting, vga-normal)." Here is the complete release announcement.

NEW • Distribution Release: CachyOS 250713 |
Rate this project
|
A new release of CachyOS, a highly-optimised, Arch Linux-based distribution with KDE Plasma as the preferred desktop in live mode, is now available for download. The 250713 version enables users to choose a preferred shell at installation time and defaults to the Wayland display server for new Plasma installations. "This is our fifth release this year, and it includes a long-awaited requested feature, improvements for chwd, and more. The user's shell can now be chosen at installation time. In the package list selection, there is now an option to choose between cachyos-fish-config and cachyos-zsh-config. If neither is selected, the system will default to Bash. The default configuration will still be Fish, as it was before. We received some reports that systemd-oomd was killing processes too early in some cases. We have removed its integration to avoid these issues. For Plasma installations, we are now defaulting to Wayland. For graphics configurations that do not support Wayland (e.g., NVIDIA legacy drivers), the plasma-x11-session will be automatically installed to prevent issues. Additionally, fwupd has been added to the Plasma and GNOME environments." Continue to the release announcement for further details.

NEW • Distribution Release: NethServer 8.5 |
Rate this project

NethServer is a Rocky Linux-based application server specifically designed for small offices and medium enterprises. The project's latest version, 8.5, introduces worker node compatiblity checks, new Samba features, S3 backup support. "Worker node version check - A safety check has been added when a new worker node joins the cluster: its core version is now compared with that of the leader node to ensure compatibility. Before joining the cluster, always update the cluster core and ensure the latest core version is used on new worker nodes. Hetzner S3 backup support - Added support for configuring Hetzner S3 as a custom backup destination. Also fixed a bug that prevented renaming custom S3 backup destinations. Samba domain member role and new features - The core Samba application can now be installed from the Software Center and configured as an Active Directory domain member, providing shared folders in a domain File Server role." Additional details can be found in the project's release notes. NethServer does not provide ISO files, instead it offers virtual machine images (for KVM and VMware) and install instructions for adding the project's software to existing installs. Download options and install steps can be found on the project's Installation page. |

The Parrot team have announced the release of Parrot 6.4, which will likely be the final release of the 6.x series. "We are proud to announce Parrot Security 6.4, the latest release of our security oriented operating system, this new version comes packed with most of the enhancements that our vibrant community asked for, and it features the amazing work of many new contributors. Many tools, like Metasploit, Sliver, Caido and Empire received important updates, the Linux kernel was updated to a more recent version, and the latest LTS version of Firefox was provided with all our privacy oriented patches. Parrot 6.4 will most likely be the last release of the 6.x branch." The release announcement goes on to share some highlights: "All the Debian compatible tools provided by Microsoft are now available for installation via APT from the official Parrot repository, so we officially support Powershell 7.5, .NET runtime and SDKs from version 5 to version 9 and many more! parrot-menu got new desktop entries (like Sliver, Rocket) and several other launchers got updated." Please note, at the time of writing, the "check hashes" for verifying downloads published on the Parrot website are for version 6.3.2, not the new 6.4 release.

Arne Exton has announced the release of a new "DebEX" edition of Exton Linux, based on the upcoming release of Debian 13. It uses the KDE Plasma 6.3.5 desktop and comes with the Calamares system installer: "I have made a new extra version of DebEX KDE Plasma live system, efi. It's a pure Debian Sid/Trixie (upcoming Debian 13) system. There are no Ubuntu or Kubuntu elements involved in DebEX. DebEX KDE Plasma Sid uses the KDE Plasma Desktop 6.3.5, the latest version, released 2025-05-06, as the desktop environment. Linux kernel 6.15.3 is used. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 2025-07-07. VirtualBox Guest Additions and VMware Tools are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX KDE in full screen. I've installed the full KDE Plasma desktop using the command 'sudo apt install task-kde-desktop'. In order to save space I have removed LibreOffice. I have added Calamares 3.3.14 installer framework. Now you can choose language when the installation starts. You can even use Calamares in VirtualBox and VMware on non-efi computers without problems. You can also use the Refracta installer." Here is the full release announcement. Download: debex-64bit-trixie-plasma-refractasnapshot-calamares-3420mb-250707.iso (3,506MB, MD5, pkglist). |

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based distribution which offers a rolling-release upgrade approach. The project's latest snapshot introduces a rewritten package manager (RPK2) and a new KDE-based desktop environment which uses Plasma 6 packages. "2025.3 images ship with RPK2, our rewrite of Rhino PKG in Nushell, by default. We have already written a blog post detailing the changes that came in RPK2, which we recommend checking out if you haven't already. We also recommend all users review the updated Rhino PKG Wiki or rpk help message to learn about the new commands and shorthands. We have also announced the release of our UBXI KDE Desktop package this release cycle, based on Plasma 6. You can read the full announcement here. Additionally, we want to reiterate that we plan to release official UBXI KDE disk image spins by the end of the year, shipping alongside the standard Unicorn Desktop images, to allow for more desktop options out-of-the-box. Pacstall has had a few major bumps in between Rhino Linux 2025.2 and 2025.3. As we have mentioned before, with Pacstall being integral to Rhino Linux, as well as sharing developers between the projects, we feel it's important to share information about these releases as well." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download (SHA256): Rhino-Linux-2025.3-amd64.iso (2,880MB, pkglist), Rhino-Linux-2025.3-arm64.iso (2,740MB). |

The MocaccinoOS development team has announced the release of MocaccinoOS 1.8.3, a minor update of the project's minimalist, Gentoo-based Linux distribution with a custom package manager called "Luet" and a choice of four popular desktops: "Today we are releasing MocaccinoOS 1.8.3. This is mostly an upgraded version that doesn't introduce too many new features. Everything is compiled against a very recent Gentoo Portage tree. Changes since 1.8.2: Linux kernel is upgraded to 6.12.35 (LTS); Mesa version 25.1.4; Qt updated to 6.9.1; NVIDIA drivers version 570.153.02 (available in repository); KDE Plasma 6.3.5; GNOME 47.3. Issues and improvements: we are aware that MOS images are not fully EFI complaint, certain (mostly older) systems are not booting properly with EFISTUB used in our images. At the moment we do not have a proper solution and the workaround is to change your BIOS settings to boot in legacy mode. Notes for testers: additional software can be installed through Flatpak, docker or the community repository. Please give us feedback by reporting bugs or sharing your ideas with us." Continue to the release announcement for further details.

Antônio Vinicius Menezes Medeiros has announced the release of Linux Kamarada 15.6, an updated version of the project's general-purpose, openSUSE-based distribution. This new build updates the GNOME desktop to version 45 and improves its integration with smartphones with the help of the GSConnect GNOME extension. "I am proud to announce that Linux Kamarada 15.6 is ready for everyone to use. Linux Kamarada is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE Leap and is intended for use on desktops at home and at work, in both private companies and government entities. It features the essential software selection for any Linux installation and a nice-looking modern desktop. The most notable update was to the GNOME desktop, which on Linux Kamarada 15.4 and 15.5 was at version 41, and is now at 45. The GNOME desktop has a new quick settings menu. Its new design makes it easy to quickly see the status (whether WiFi is on or off, whether Bluetooth is on or off) as well as change commonly-used settings (connect to a WiFi network, pair a Bluetooth device). Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with the click of button." See the release announcement for more information and screenshots.

Valeria Fadeeva has announced the release of a new version of Melawy Linux, an Arch-based desktop Linux distribution with a customised KDE Plasma as the preferred desktop. The new version, labelled as 2025.07.04, comes with updated packages as well as various important changes. Most notably, the distribution now uses the XanMod kernel, a general-purpose Linux kernel with custom settings and third-party patches. Previously, Melawy Linux used a kernel built by CachyOS for improved performance and responsiveness, but the CachyOS kernel does not work on some laptops. Also, the XanMod kernel offers support for Waydroid, a container-based method that enables Android to run in a containerized environment on Linux systems. The new release also comes with unspecified bug fixes. Visit the project's news page to read the brief release announcement (in Russian) and to see the screenshots. Although Melawy Linux is a Russian project, the distribution defaults to an English-language user interface. The latest version, provided in "Base" and "Developer" editions, is available in for download from SourceForge as split ISO images or as torrents (pkglist): Melawy-Linux-Base-System-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (7,443MB, torrent, SHA256, signature), Melawy-Linux-Developer-Edition-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (11,707MB, torrent, SHA256, signature). |
