Joshua Webb has announced the release of an updated version of RakuOS, a Fedora-based immutable Linux distribution with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and, newly introduced in this version, COSMIC desktops: "RakuOS Linux 2026.04.15 is a major release and our last major update for the Fedora 43 base as we begin to move towards Fedora 44, introducing our first COSMIC desktop edition ISO image, a new live ISO image installation experience, and full Rust rewrites of our core desktop applications. RakuOS Linux now ships its first COSMIC desktop ISO image, alongside our existing GNOME and KDE editions. Built on the System76 COSMIC desktop environment, it delivers a clean, modern experience on top of RakuOS's immutable, container-native foundation. Note of caution: COSMIC is still maturing and currently has some issues with gaming. If you are a gamer, we recommend holding off on the COSMIC edition until these issues are resolved by System76." See the detailed release announcement for more information. Download (pkglist): rakuos-kde-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,384MB), rakuos-gnome-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,201MB), rakuos-cosmic-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,376MB). Separate ISO image with support for NVIDIA GPUs are also available. |

| About RakuOS
|
| RakuOS is an immutable Linux distribution based on Fedora, with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and COSMIC desktops. It combines an immutable, read-only base system with the full package flexibility of a traditional Linux distribution. While the core system updates atomically and can be instantly rolled back, the system's persistent overlay lets the user install any package, either through the dnf package manager or the distribution's own software center called RakuOS Software. Installation of Flatpak packages is also supported. RakuOS uses the performance-optimised CachyOS Linux kernel and also includes a graphical CPU scheduling utility to fine-tune the system for gaming, workloads or power efficiency use cases.

Distribution Release: RakuOS 2026.05.16 |
|
RakuOS is an immutable Linux distribution based on Fedora, with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and COSMIC desktops. The project's latest release is based on Fedora 44 and introduces some key changes. "The old behavior (RakuOS Linux 43): On every image update, your overlay was wiped. The system blocked at a black screen or Plymouth while all your packages were reinstalled from scratch. No network? No usable system. This was especially painful for laptop users on spotty Wi-Fi. The new behavior (RakuOS Linux 44): Your overlay is kept intact across image updates your apps stay installed and usable immediately after reboot. Package database rebuilding now happens silently in the background after you log in Desktop notifications keep you informed of rebuild progress. No network on boot? The system handles it gracefully, defers the rebuild to your next boot with a notification explaining what happened, and retries automatically for functions that require network. Image updates are now fully offline no internet connection required after an image update is installed. The RPM database merge and package list reconciliation work entirely from what's already on disk." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download (MD5, pkglist): rakuos-cosmic-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,328MB), rakuos-gnome-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,179MB), rakuos-kde-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,489MB). |
