Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre
The Hyperbola Project is a community driven effort to provide a fully free (as in freedom) operating system that is stable, secure, simple, lightweight that tries to Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) with Long Term Support (LTS). The distribution was originally derviced from Arch snapshots, plus stability and security from Debian, though Hyperbola is no longer binary-compatible with either distribution. Hyperbola provides packages that meet the GNU Free System Distribution Guidelines (GNU FSDG) and offers replacements for the packages that do not meet this requirement. Packages are provided for the i686 and x86_64 architectures.

Rodolphe Bachelart has announced the availability of Voyager Live 11, a major new release of the project's Debian-based desktop Linux distribution with a customised GNOME desktop. This version is derived from the recently-released Debian 11 "Bullseye" and it comes with a variety of non-free firmware pre-installed. It ships with the GNOME 3.38 desktop, Linux kernel 5.10, Firefox 78.13 and LibreOffice 7.0. This time the release preserved the internal structure of Debian 11 to avoid any security issues and all the package updates come from official Debian mirrors. It is also a more international release as all languages and translations have been preserved. Voyager has improved the "Box" with new scripts, such as the "Switch" script which allows a one-click switch between the environment of Debian 11 and Voyager 11. Other scripts provide ways to modify various Conky options, install GNOME extensions, switch to a PC Tablet mode with one-click screen rotation, Voyager wallpapers, restore options, installation of Wine Staging, among many others.

Distribution Release: Voyager Live 12 |
|
Voyager Live is a project which offers Debian- and Ubuntu-based flavours of a desktop distribution. The project has announced the release of Voyager Live 12, which is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm". The new version focuses on improving the availability of firmware for fresh installs. "With numerous Themes and Wallpapers and essential software and many other new features to discover like Scrcpy to have your smartphone screen on your PC. Debian 12 'Bookworm' contains over 11,089 new packages, bringing the total to over 64,419 packages. Most of the software included with Debian has been updated, with over 6,296 packages removed because they are old or obsolete. The installer on Debian has received various enhancements which have resulted in better hardware support and exciting new features. Take, for example, improved handling of proprietary (non-free) firmware for hardware, which now makes it easier to load these firmwares from the installer. This was made possible through the inclusion of Debian APT 2.6 which allows for better handling of non-free firmware on Debian. So non-free firmware binaries will now be enabled by default when it is verified that they are needed. These changes will allow better support for different hardware running on non-free firmware, especially GPUs and Wi-Fi adapters."

Distribution Release: Voyager Live 18.10 |
|
The Voyager Live team has announced a new version of the project's Ubuntu-based distribution. The new release, Voyager Live 18.10, switches from using the Xfce desktop to using GNOME Shell as the default interface. An English translation of the original French release announcement reads: "I present to you for the first time: Voyager - GE 18.10 based on the GNOME Shell desktop and Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish). Why GNOME Shell now? Voyager abandoned the GNOME Shell desktop 10 years ago for Xfce, because of its youth and especially because lack of flexibility and extensions were problematic at the time. Now, after several tests, the conclusion is that part of the GNOME Shell system is again ergonomic, customisable and more flexible than it was in the beginning. So it was considered to make a version named GE for GNOME Shell. Why the intermediate version with 9 months of support in 18.10 and not 18.04 LTS with its 3 years of support? Because GNOME Shell 3.30.1 does not install on the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and because 3.30 is much better than the 3.28 which is taking too many system resources. So here we are with this new digital and human adventure." The new release offers nine months of support. Download (MD5) from SourceForge: Voyager-GE-18.10-amd64.iso (1,862MB, torrent, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Voyager Live 14.04.4 "X" |
|
Rodolphe Bachelart has announced the availability of a new edition of Voyager Live. Voyager "X", based on Voyager 14.04.4 LTS, is an experimental version built around the new Xfce 4.12 desktop which was only recently released. It also includes an updated Linux kernel, version 3.16. The entire layout of the desktop has been recoded and the scripts improved to work with the new Xfce. This is a version whose goal is to bring the latest Xfce and kernel improvements to some of the more recent computer systems. Although Xfce 4.12 is final, it has yet to be integrated into Ubuntu's official repositories; as such, it is considered as experimental. At the moment only a 64-bit ISO image is available for download, with a 32-bit variant possibly coming later if needed. This version of Voyager X has been tested extensively and it can be installed as an "official" Voyager. Xfce 4.12, coupled with Linux kernel 3.16, has made Voyager faster and more responsive, with many parameters optimised for better performance and with much improved hardware support. The release announcement (in French) offers more details and several screenshots. The announcement warns that due to the young nature of Xfce 4.12 and some Voyager features, users should backup their data prior to upgrading to the new release.
