The AerynOS project has announced the release of AerynOS 2025.08, a new version of the project's independently-developed, rolling-release Linux distribution for general desktop use and with a custom package manager called "moss": "Closing out August 2025, we are proud to announce our third release of the year. This release follows an intense development period where the team has reevaluated its priorities and timelines, and refocused efforts on 'delivering core Linux distribution tooling that will simplify our ability to scale out over time'. We have documented some of our progress in our last two blog posts and spent the last two months further progressing towards these goals. We have implemented a basic version of virtual packages (Package Sets), continued our hardware (and VM) enablement efforts and have selectively been growing our repository where we feel it's beneficial to our users. What's new? Whilst not an exhaustive list, some of the top line repository updates include: GNOME 48.4, Plasma 6.4.4, Sway 1.11, Cosmic Alpha 7, Linux 6.15.11, Mesa 25.2.1, LLVM 20.1.8...."

Distribution Release: AerynOS 2025.10 |
|
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.
