The CachyOS team have announced the release of a new version of their Arch-based Linux distribution. The new version places a focus on making the system installer more friendly, particularly when selecting which desktop environment to use. "First, the installer now shows animated GIF/WebP previews in the Desktop Selection to showcase each desktop environment. This is currently enabled for Plasma, GNOME, Niri and COSMIC, giving users a much better idea of what to expect before making their choice. And also, added support for JPEG XL in the Desktop Selection to reduce image sizes. The Desktop Environment list has also been sorted from easy and accessible setups to more advanced ones like window managers. Cachy-Update is now enabled by default for GNOME and KDE installations. The microcode installation logic has been improved - it will now detect the hardware and install the proper microcode instead of installing both and then removing the unneeded one. The error message when the EFI partition is too small has also been improved." The project's release announcement lists additional changes and fixes for the new snapshot.

John Raff has announced the release of BunsenLabs Linux Carbon, a new major update of the project's lightweight distribution with a customised Openbox window manager, now based on Debian 13. This release brings support for the Wayland display server: "The BunsenLabs team is happy to announce our latest release, BunsenLabs Carbon. Based on Debian 'Trixie', Carbon has had many improvements, including a new desktop appearance and assistance (coming soon) for users who want to experiment with Wayland. The BunsenLabs Session is now able to launch Wayland sessions, if the necessary apps and configurations are provided. In the near future a 'plugin' metapackage will be available to add a base Wayland session to a BL Carbon system. Several core apps have been changed to ones that support Wayland as well as X11, or make applying themes simpler. picom configurations have been substantially updated to use the current picom, which now needs 3D acceleration and openGL. A wrapper script has been added for pkexec under Wayland, and sudoedit is now used to edit files as root. A 'bl-menu' command has been added so a menu can be started from the same launcher regardless of running on X11 or Wayland." See the release announcement and the release notes for further details.
