Distribution Release: Asmi Linux 25.10 |
 |
Tony George has announced the release of Asmi Linux 25.10, the latest version of the project's Ubuntu-based distribution that uses a highly customised Xfce desktop with a plethora of user-friendly touches. "Asmi Linux 25.10 is now available, based on Ubuntu 25.10. Highlights: based on Ubuntu 25.10 'Questing Quokka'; Xfce 4.20 desktop; Linux kernel 6.17. Note: Ubuntu 25.10 will reach end of life (EOL) in July 2026. If you are doing a new installation, it is recommended to use Asmi 24.04 as it is more mature and stable." The release announcement also highlights changes, improvements and known issues in the release: "You can now save and load your own desktop layouts using the Asmi Settings app; Thunar's toolbar and titlebar was updated for a better look. The titlebar uses CSD to save vertical space while still keeping the menu bar. Known issues: Flatpaks are broken on Ubuntu 25.10 due an issue with AppArmor profiles; SSH-Agent does not display a GUI password prompt; setting the wallpaper does not work sometimes in Thunar and Ristretto, you can use one of the commands below to set the wallpaper manually. As a workaround, a context menu entry was added to Thunar that you can use to set the wallpaper." Asmi Linux 25.10 is available for download from GitHub: asmi-linux-25.10-amd64.iso (1,994MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

Tribblix
Tribblix is a general-purpose operating system derived from OpenSolaris, OpenIndiana and illumos. The base kernel and commands come from illumos, with everything else rebuilt from scratch. It is a traditional system where software is distributed as SVR4 packages and lightweight window managers are preferred over heavy desktop environments. Xfce is the primary desktop option, with MATE, Enlightenment and various window managers also available for installation. While Tribblix inherits many of the key illumos technologies, such as ZFS, zones, DTrace and SMF, it uses its own build and packaging system.
