Juha Uotila has announced the release of Aurora 43, an important update of the project's Fedora-based immutable Linux distribution made for general desktop use. This version updates the underlying system to Fedora 43 and the KDE Plasma desktop to version 6.5: "Aurora 'Stable' has been updated and is now based on Fedora 43. Unfortunately this time the update took a little longer than we would have hoped, but we had to wait for ZFS to get support for the new 6.17 kernel series. Fedora 43 is a minor update and doesn't bring many big updates in itself, but we have still done some backend work on the Aurora side. Changes are mostly non-invasive, it was just to make our sources lighter and easier to manage. KDE Plasma 6.5 also finally reached our stable images. People on daily images have already been enjoying Plasma 6.5 for the past few weeks. As we mentioned in our last update, one of the biggest changes regards Bazaar, the Flathub appstore. We have now fully moved to the Flatpak version of Bazaar, which provides more frequent updates. Furthermore, it is now easier to help upstream to get issues fixed. This brings some changes how Bazaar is integrated into the system." Continue to the release announcement for more information. The Aurora installation images have been updated as well; here is the download link: aurora-stable-x86_64.iso (6,468MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

| About Aurora
|
| Aurora is a Fedora Silverblue-based Linux distribution with the goal of being a general-purpose workstation. It uses the KDE Plasma desktop. Like Fedora Silverblue, Aurora's root filesystem is immutable (read-only), which makes the system more stable, less prone to bugs, and easier to test and develop. Updates, upgrades and rollbacks to a previous image are available via the rpm-ostree utility. The distribution also features Flatpak applications and Toolbox containers. |

LinuxBBQ
LinuxBBQ was a multi-purpose operating system based on Debian's "unstable" branch and spiced up with kernels and tools from siduction, Grml and Linux Mint. LinuxBBQ offers different flavours and desktops which are released as "editions" (with no version numbers) and which can be customised and remixed by the user. The individual editions are built to include most major desktop environments (with the exception of GNOME) and there was a special edition offering a choice of no fewer than 53 window managers - everything from aewm to xmonad.
