Venom Linux
Venom Linux is an independently-developed, rolling-release distribution inspired by CRUX. It targets experienced Linux users. Venom uses SysV init as the main init system and BSD-like ports as software packages which are managed by a custom package management tool called scratchpkg (written in compliance with POSIX standards). The distribution offers a simple graphical desktop built around the Openbox window manager and a text-mode system installer.

Distribution Release: Nobara Project 41 |
|
Nobara Project is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. The project's latest version is based on Fedora 41 and ships with an updated system installer, new accessibility options, and updated video drivers. "Calamares installer rebased on top of KaOS Linux fork for more feature options as well as on-screen keyboard functionality. Toggle added for on-screen keyboard. On-screen keyboard now comes up within the installer instead of taking up half the screen Network check has been removed. Nobara can be installed completely offline from any ISO downloaded. Mesa - we have noticed with a few benchmark videos throughout the past year that sometimes games may not run with Vulkan at all (very rare). This can happen as a regression because we shipped Vulkan built from git. Moving forward we have changed that. Nobara will now ship with the latest stable Vulkan drivers that come with the latest Mesa release, however, we've added mesa-vulkan-drivers-git to the driver manager so users can easily swap back and forth between the two whenever they please."

The distribution's latest release, version 40, includes KDE Plasma 6.1.1, GNOME 45, and several updates to package management. "The 'Update System' app has been completely remade into a Python GUI application, no more monolithic Bash script. The 'Update System' app has been better integrated with Nobara package manager (yumex-ng) and now provides a service which runs as a system tray app for receiving update notifications. The system tray app is fully configurable within Nobara Package Manager's settings and includes options to hide the icon completely or change it’s update check interval timer. Nobara Package Manager can now fully search, install, and remove Flatpaks in a user-friendly way on the GUI, obsoleting the need for kde-discover or gnome-software. The PackageKit plugin for KDE discover has been removed so that it does not manage system packages. KDE Discover does not come with the Nobara Official release, however it is still provided on the KDE release. If users intend to used KDE Discover we want them to use it for Flatpaks only."

Distribution Release: Nobara Project 39 |
|
Nobara Project is a modified version of Fedora Linux with user-friendly fixes added to it. The distribution comes with certain features that do not ship with the regular Fedora. The project's latest release is version 39 which streamlines a few features: "We've removed the codec installer and instead integrated it as part of the 'Update System' app. The goal here was to streamline package updates into one place and give less popups for the user on clean installation. Now, when a user performs a new installation they will receive one pop-up informing them they should update the system. Upon updating they will then be asked a few questions, including updating media codec packages, updating Flatpaks, and updating snaps. There is still a popup for NVIDIA drivers if the user decides to change GPUs and/or did not install using an NVIDIA ISO image and has an NVIDIA GPU. The layout picker has been removed as it was based around GNOME, and we are no longer focusing on GNOME as our primary desktop." Additional information is provided in the changelog. Download (pkglist): Nobara-39-Official-2023-12-24.iso (3,614MB, SHA256), Nobara-39-GNOME-2023-12-24.iso (3,449MB, SHA256), Nobara-39-KDE-2023-12-24.iso (3,539MB, SHA256). |

New to Nobara: Davinci Resolve workaround will detect if Davinci Resolve installer has been run from terminal and, after installation, will prompt for user to run a wizard to perform additional actions; payday 2 workaround will detect if the native Linux version of payday 2 is run and, if so, will use the zink driver to run it, as the OpenGL implementation is currently broken and the native version no longer receives official support; udev rules - rule added so that the 'Xbox 360' controller devices are forced to use the Xpad driver - this allows devices such as the gpd win max 2 and gpd win 4 to retain controller support while still also allowing the optional xone/xpadneo driver to be installed when users need wireless dongle and/or better bluetooth support for XBox one controllers."
