Liya is an Arch Linux-based, rolling-release distribution. The project's latest release is Liya 2.4 which introduces optimizations and responsiveness improvements. "The system is now optimized for x86_64-v2 and v3, allowing better compiler optimizations, reduced latency, and smarter memory use. If your processor supports v3, I strongly recommend using the corresponding ISO - the speed boost is noticeable across daily tasks. Shoutout to the ALHP project for making microarch-specific builds more accessible. Switched to the Xanmod kernel. Shravya ships with the linux-xanmod kernel by default. This kernel is optimized for responsiveness and performance, making Liya snappier for daily use, gaming, creative workloads, and development. This kernel alone has significantly improved performance in benchmarks and real-world usage. Memory management has been rethought: If your system has more than 8GiB of RAM, zram will be auto-enabled at install time. For systems with 8 GB or less, zswap will be used for better compatibility. These changes improve performance and reduce swap-related disk usage without requiring user intervention." Additional details are provided in the release announcement. Download (MD5): Liya-2.4-x86_64-v2.iso (3,466MB, pkglist). |

Distribution Release: Liya Linux 2.5 |
|
The Liya Linux distribution is an Arch-based project which runs the Cinnamon desktop and features the Pamac package manager. The project has published a new snapshot which introduces integrated AI chat and improved support for connecting with Windows file shares. "I am pleased to announce the release of Liya 2.5, code-named 'Mahi'. This release focuses on refinement, usability, and improving the overall first-use and daily experience. Samba integration is now enabled by default in the Nemo file manager. For Windows 10 and greater, network and Windows shares are discoverable out of the box. For Windows 8.1 and less, please run 'sudo use_smbv1'. Liya Linux 2.5 includes Newelle, an advanced AI chatbot frontend. Newelle allows users to directly use AI models in system interface and/or run local LLMs easily. A guide to set up Newelle will be posted soon in our wiki section. The Liya Welcome application has been included to simplify post-install setup. Graphics drivers can now be installed directly from the Welcome app. Hybrid graphics systems (such as Intel + NVIDIA or Intel + AMD) are now handled more reliably. Liya Linux 2.5 features a single unified Liya package repository, featuring the bare minimum of packages which are required to run Liya. Other packages are outsourced to 'chaotic-aur' and 'blackarch' repositories." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download: Liya-2.5-x86_64-v3.iso (4,074MB, SHA256, pkglist). |
