The Murena team have announced a new version of its /e/OS operating system for mobile devices. The new 3.2 version features notifications when apps are leaking data and customization options for the side button on the Fairphone 6. There are also improvements to the project's software centre: "In Advanced Privacy, users are now informed in real time when apps attempt to leak data, with simple controls to manage notifications. The App Lounge has also been refined: app sizes from F-Droid are now displayed, and common apps are shown based on region for a better browsing experience. For Fairphone (Gen.6) users, /e/OS 3.2 introduces customization of the side button, allowing you to assign your preferred actions. While the dedicated Moments feature from Android is not yet available, this new customization gives you more flexibility in how you use the button. A major improvement has been implemented to the Fairphone (Gen.6). Fairphone Camera app is now available on /e/OS, enjoy an even better camera experience on your phone." Additional details are offered in the project's newsletter and in the release notes. A list of supported devices and install options are available on Murena's devices page. |

The iodéOS team have announced the availability of iodéOS 6.9. The new version focuses on security and user accounts, enabling automatic reboot after a period of inactivity, full signing out of user accounts, and better protection of device settings. "Full logout for secondary users - secondary users can now be fully logged out of the device, rather than just switching accounts. This ensures a cleaner separation of user environments and better privacy for everyone sharing the device. Also included in iodéOS 4 and later versions. Private Space and Work Profiles for secondary users - secondary users can now use Private Space and Work Profiles, allowing them to leverage apps like Shelter for better data isolation. This is ideal for families or teams who need to keep personal and work data separate, even on shared devices. Work Profiles also included in iodéOS 5. App links (deep links) let apps open specific URLs directly instead of defaulting to the browser. With iodéOS 6.9, apps can now automatically validate these links if configured, eliminating the need for manual approval and making the experience smoother and more efficient." The project's release announcement has further details. Download and install options are available through the project's Installation page. |

NEW • Development Release: antiX 25 Beta 1 |

|
The developers of antiX, a lightweight, systemd-free desktop Linux distribution featuring the IceWM window manager, have announced the availability of the initial beta build of a major new version, 25, based on Debian 13. This release adds s6-rc and s6-66 as alternatives to runit and Dinit init systems: "Here is the first beta ISO image of antiX 25 (64- bit). Bullet point notes for now: based on Debian 13 'Trixie'; four modern systemd-free init systems – runit (default), s6-rc, s6-66 and Dinit; new default look; the usual ‘antiX magic’; you *should* be able to boot live in the non-default init and it *should* then become the default after install. Please note that user intervention will be required more than in previous versions of antiX, especially if not using the default runit option. This means that users will need to add any needed service files for the init they are using, e.g. network-manager will also need runit-service-network-manager (and the equivalents for dinit, s6-rc and s6-66, if available). Test it out and post feedback in the thread at the forums. This release is unique in that it would not have existed without the cooperation of many other distro developers." Here is the brief release announcement. Download: antiX-25-beta1_x64-full.iso (2,126MB, MD5). |

Devuan GNU+Linux 6.0.0, code name "Excalibur", has been released. This latest version of the project's systemd-free Linux distribution forked from Debian in 2015 is based on Debian 13: "It is with great pleasure that the Devuan developers hereby announce the release of Devuan Excalibur 6.0 as the project's newest stable release. This is the result of lots of painstaking work by the team and extensive testing by the wider Devuan community. New in this release: a [merged-/usr]filesystem is obligatory, if you are upgrading from 'Daedalus' ensure you have complied with this requirement before upgrading; PipeWire audio - in general (with the notable exception of users requiring a screen reader for graphical login), the PipeWire media server is a superior solution to PulseAudio, in particular it has fewer latency issues; non-free firmware - all Devuan 6 installation media make non-free firmware packages available at install time, in the majority of the cases, these packages are needed (and will be installed) only if your hardware (usually WiFi adapter) requires them." See the brief release announcements and the detailed release notes for further information. Download (pkglist): devuan_excalibur_6.0.0_amd64_desktop-live.iso (1,712MB, SHA256, signature), devuan_excalibur_6.0.0_amd64_desktop.iso (4,048MB, SHA256, signature), devuan_excalibur_6.0.0_amd64_minimal-live.iso (876MB, SHA256, signature). |

NebiSoft has announced the release of NebiOS 10.0, a major new version of the project's general-purpose, Ubuntu-based desktop Linux distribution with a custom-built NebiOS Wayland compositor and various user interface enhancements. "NebiOS X 10.0 is the final release following RC4 and delivering a more stable NebiDE Wayland environment, simplified OOBE, and a migration to kisak-mesa stable drivers. This version represents the maturity and balance of the NebiOS X platform. NebiOS X arrives with the most mature and stable form of NebiDE Wayland to date. This release not only introduces refined interface elements but also brings deep, structural improvements aimed at reducing complexity and improving overall performance compared to previous builds. With NebiOS X, the X11-based NebiDE legacy era has officially come to an end. In RC4, the 'Bookmarks' section would still appear on some systems even when no directories were actually bookmarked. In 10.0, this has been corrected - if no bookmarks exist, both the group and its icon are now hidden. This change eliminates the confusion between the file manager shortcut icon and the bookmarks group within the Utility Panel. The panel now shows the group only when user-defined directories exist, resulting in a cleaner and more logical layout." See the complete release announcement for further details.

AerynOS is an independently-developed, rolling-release Linux distribution designed for general desktop use. The project has published a new snapshot, version 2025.10, which updates its three desktop environments (GNOME, COSMIC and Plasma). This snapshot also reverts the C++ library from LLVM to the GNU implementation. "The GNOME packaging team has updated our GNOME environment to 49.1. The team has also expanded the number of available GNOME packages in our repository, and we now include Showtime and GNOME-contacts in our GNOME pkgsets accordingly. For clarity, these were added in September but were not mentioned in our previous blog post. GNOME continues to work very well on AerynOS and remains as our default live installation environment. Reilly Brogan has done a fantastic job landing KDE Plasma 6.5, KDE Gear 25.08.2 and KDE Frameworks 6.19.0 into our repository over the last month. The overall KDE Plasma experience continues to improve with users providing largely very positive feedback on its performance and fluidity on AerynOS. Over the last couple of months, KDE Plasma has now also been promoted as a recommended installation option alongside GNOME." Additional details can be found in this blog post.

Norman Feske has announced the release of Sculpt OS 25-10, the latest version of the project's independently-developed open-source operating system that combines a microkernel architecture, capability-based security, sandboxed device drivers, and virtual machines in a novel operating system for commodity PC hardware and the PinePhone: "Sculpt OS 25.10 improves performance, updates device drivers, and accepts a new human-readable configuration format. In the light of this year's roadmap focus on rigidity, clarity, performance, Sculpt OS 25.10 looks the same as the version 25.04 but might feel different as it includes countless under-the-hood improvements of the two preceding framework releases 25.05 and 25.08. User interaction on performance-starved platforms like the PinePhone has become visibly smoother thanks to our recent CPU scheduling advances. The streamlined block-storage stack combined with various refinements of the package-installation mechanism make the on-target installation of 3rd-party components a bliss. Regarding supported hardware, we steadily follow the tireless work of the Linux kernel community. All PC driver components using Linux kernel code are now consistently based on kernel version 6.12." Here is the brief release announcement. Sculpt OS 25-10 is available for download as an IMG file: sculpt-25-10.img (34.9MB, signature). |

An updated build of Besgnulinux, a lightweight Debian-based distribution featuring the JWM window manager, has been released. The 3-1 version comes with a new and modern desktop menu, and a smaller set of software packages in its default state: "In this version, the base design was kept as it was, but many changes were made. Some regularly-added software has been removed from the system upon request. The ISO image file has been reduced to around 2,500 megabytes. LibreOffice, Inkscape, Games, Printer are some of the software that will not install. The installation of these software is left to the user's discretion. The ability to add items to the menu has been adapted. Users can add or remove items from the menu. A relatively modern menu has been added to the JWM menu. An image of this menu, called App Finder, can be seen below. A second menu is not required, it's simply for user preference. Another significant change is the change to the default file manager. The latest version of the PCManFM file manager, which we've been using for years, is riddled with bugs. Therefore, it has been replaced by the Nemo file manager. Nemo works well with JWM and is quite lightweight, consuming an average of 25 MB of memory. This time, the desktop is active. Spacefm is managing the desktop." See the rest of the release announcement for further details and screenshots. Download (MD5): besgnulinux-jwm-3-1-amd64.iso (2,377MB, pkglist). |

Unraid OS is a Linux-based commercial operating system designed to provide an easy-to-use and flexible platform for building and managing a Network-Attached Storage (NAS).

Kyle Gospodnetich has announced the release of Bazzite 43, a major update of the project's Fedora-based immutable distribution designed for gamers, with a choice of GNOME or KDE Plasma desktops. This release adds support for several new handheld gaming devices, including Xbox Ally, Xbox Ally X, Legion Go 2, OneXPlayer X1 Air and SuiPlay0X1: "Today's update brings Bazzite up to Fedora 43, with new device support and under-the-hood fixes from our team. This update adds full support for the Xbox Ally, mirroring the one we have for the original Ally and Ally X units (RGB, fan curves, back buttons). For this to happen, we had to coordinate with AMD to fix sleep (as it uses the same chip as the Steam Deck), tweak the amplifier driver to drive these new amazing speakers, and fix some RGB quirks caused by the dynamic lighting feature in Windows. This support extends to the new Ally X unit as well. However, this unit features an even more powerful dual amplifier speaker setup, and we find some of you have clipping at above 80% volume. We are waiting a reply from the Texas Instruments (the company that made the amplifier) maintainers about this, so until then, exercise some restraint and stay at around 80% volume." Read the full release announcement for further details. Here are the download links to installation images on standard 64-bit desktop computers (pkglist): bazzite-stable-amd64.iso (7,541MB, SHA256), bazzite-gnome-stable-amd64.iso (6,712MB, SHA256). |
