Stefan Zipproth has announced the release of Ditana 0.9.3, a major update of the project's Arch-based Linux distribution that boots into a custom system installer with advanced configuration options. The new release updates the distribution's configuration setup and adds new desktop choices, including COSMIC, Xfce, niri and Wayfire. "This is the largest release in Ditana's history. Almost every subsystem has been touched and the architecture has been fundamentally reorganised around the principle of configuration as data. The biggest single shift since 0.9.0 is architectural. In 0.9.0, Ditana's customisations lived in monolithic Arch packages - anything the installer wanted to set up had to be baked into a PKGBUILD. That made desktop customisation, browser choice, terminal selection and dozens of other touch points difficult to compose. In 0.9.3, all of this lives in a new, separately-versioned repository - ditana-config - as structured data in KDL v2. ... Ditana 0.9.0 shipped Xfce only. Ditana 0.9.3 ships four desktop environments - Xfce (X11), Wayfire, niri and COSMIC (all Wayland), installable individually or in parallel. The greeter shows whichever ones you installed. Wayfire and niri are sometimes dismissed as incomplete environments. Ditana addresses the gap directly - a polished Waybar configuration with theme-matched icons, nwg-launcher and nwgbar for app launching and power actions, sensible defaults across all four, so all four are first-class options, not technology demos."
