The PrismLinux team has announced the release of PrismLinux 2026.05.05, a significant update of the project's Arch-based Linux distribution that boots into a KDE Plasma desktop and provides a custom system installer: "We are pleased to announce PrismLinux 2026.05.05, a substantial stable release, bringing a fully redesigned installer, a refreshed live experience, GNOME 50 support, Linux kernel 7.0, and a broad set of improvements across packages and the core system. The installer has been significantly redesigned and refined: improved navigation — steps now retain their state, allowing free movement between modules throughout the installation process; native localisation — localisation is now handled natively, replacing the previous JSON-based approach; low-end hardware support — weak hardware is detected automatically, animations and resource-intensive features are disabled accordingly; shell selection — choose your default shell during setup from Bash, Fish or Zsh; new fonts — Cascadia Code, JetBrains Mono and Maple Mono are now available as font choices; gaming section — gaming applications (Bottles, Steam) have been moved to the dedicated Extra, Gaming section."
