The developers of OmegaLinux have announced a brand new release, version 2026.02.21. Formerly based on Lubuntu, the new version is a complete rebuild of the project's lightweight Linux distribution, now based on Arch Linux. It continues using the LXDE desktop, making it suitable for installation on low-end hardware and older computers with as little as 1 GB or memory and 15 GB of storage space. "OmegaLinux NEXT Deep Blue Sea - the 'Goodbye Lubuntu/Ubuntu' release. New OmegaLinux release, the biggest one and we even moved bases. Changelog (updated 22 february 2026): rebased from scratch to Arch Linux, no longer Ubuntu base, this means OmegaLinux 2.x (and maybe 3.x) would get instant end of life; design and branding overhaul - a little bit skeumorphic (especially in icons); now since its rolling-release it will always get the newest updates of packages; there wasn't too much changelog but the fact that it's rebased on Arch Linux really makes it really big; Soil's facility (own server) - not yet." Read the brief release announcement and visit the distribution's new home page for more information, system requirements and screenshots. REMnux 8 can be installed on top of an existing Ubuntu 24.04 installation or it can be loaded into a virtual machine; here are the Download (SHA256) from GitHub: omegalinux-2026.02.21-x86_64.iso (1,694MB, pkglist). |
