|
The PorteuX developers have announced the release of PorteuX 1.8, the latest version of the project's set of minimalist and portable Linux distribution based on Slackware Linux. This brand-new build updates the Xfce desktop environment to the just-released version 4.20: "This release introduces the long-awaited Xfce 4.20, along with updates to almost all desktop environments. The kernel has been updated to 6.12.5, but there appear to be some upstream performance regressions for AMD users in specific cases, so if you experience some of these issues, you can use the kernel from PorteuX 1.7. Changes: fixed vm.max_map_count not being set during boot; fixed extensions not installing in Cinnamon if 05-devel was not activated; fixed KDE 6 night light feature not working; improved support for Steam Deck; improved PorteuX installer for Linux to only ask for admin rights instead of root user; improved all scripts in /opt/porteux-scripts to only ask for admin rights instead of root user...."

It is pre-configured for basic usage, including lightweight applications for each one of the seven desktop environments (Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Xfce) available. No browser is included, but an app store is provided for downloading any of the most popular browsers, as well as other applications.

Distribution Release: PorteuX 1.7 |
|
PorteuX is a portable Linux distribution based on Slackware, inspired by Slax and Porteus. The project's latest release, version 1.7, introduces several fixes and updates most of the supported desktop environments. "Many optimizations, fixes and updates have been made, resulting in a very exciting and, hopefully, fast and stable system for everyone. Fixed run-pipewire and gui-cheatcode-loader scripts to avoid running in the background indefinitely. Fixed LXDE error/freezing when dragging a file from Engrampa over the file manager side panel. Fixed Xfce 4.18 'sticky keys' notification issue. Improved kernel config file to remove debug and other optimizations to reduce size without sacrificing performance. Improved GCC/Clang flags to use LTO when it's possible. Improved stripping in GNOME current -- localsearch binaries have been removed due to random full load. Improved rc.6, rc.M, rc.S and rc.services to be simpler and a bit faster. Improved xzm converter scripts to include -o [path] syntax, among some other minor improvements. Improved stripping in all base modules." A complete list of changes can be found in the project's release notes.
