The AerynOS project published a news update for the month of January which highlights changes to the distribution, its website, and infrastructure. The newsletter includes a release announcement which discusses details of the project's latest snapshot, with visible changes coming to the distribution's desktop environments. "Given System76's move to a more regular release cycle for COSMIC DE, we are able to land updates to our repository more frequently. This month, System76 landed COSMIC 1.0.3 with some key updates including support for rounded corners and window shadows across all applications and additional appearance settings being made available. This month sees the inclusion of GNOME 49.3 which is a stable bug-fix release with updates across the GNOME stack. Some key updates include: Nautilus file manager no longer wastes resources on images with larger dimensions; GNOME Control Center fixes for time zone searching and monitoring app filter changes in the Applications panel; Loupe improvements in performance. Plus many more fixes. KDE Plasma has been updated to 6.5.5, KDE Frameworks to 6.22.0 and KDE Gear to 25.12.1." Download: AerynOS-2026.01-GNOME-live-x86_64.iso (2,320MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

AerynOS is an independently-developed, rolling-release Linux distribution designed for general desktop use. The project has published a new snapshot, version 2025.10, which updates its three desktop environments (GNOME, COSMIC and Plasma). This snapshot also reverts the C++ library from LLVM to the GNU implementation. "The GNOME packaging team has updated our GNOME environment to 49.1. The team has also expanded the number of available GNOME packages in our repository, and we now include Showtime and GNOME-contacts in our GNOME pkgsets accordingly. For clarity, these were added in September but were not mentioned in our previous blog post. GNOME continues to work very well on AerynOS and remains as our default live installation environment. Reilly Brogan has done a fantastic job landing KDE Plasma 6.5, KDE Gear 25.08.2 and KDE Frameworks 6.19.0 into our repository over the last month. The overall KDE Plasma experience continues to improve with users providing largely very positive feedback on its performance and fluidity on AerynOS. Over the last couple of months, KDE Plasma has now also been promoted as a recommended installation option alongside GNOME." Additional details can be found in this blog post.

The AerynOS project has announced the release of AerynOS 2025.08, a new version of the project's independently-developed, rolling-release Linux distribution for general desktop use and with a custom package manager called "moss": "Closing out August 2025, we are proud to announce our third release of the year. This release follows an intense development period where the team has reevaluated its priorities and timelines, and refocused efforts on 'delivering core Linux distribution tooling that will simplify our ability to scale out over time'. We have documented some of our progress in our last two blog posts and spent the last two months further progressing towards these goals. We have implemented a basic version of virtual packages (Package Sets), continued our hardware (and VM) enablement efforts and have selectively been growing our repository where we feel it's beneficial to our users. What's new? Whilst not an exhaustive list, some of the top line repository updates include: GNOME 48.4, Plasma 6.4.4, Sway 1.11, Cosmic Alpha 7, Linux 6.15.11, Mesa 25.2.1, LLVM 20.1.8...." Continue to the detailed release announcement for further information. Download: AerynOS-2025.08-GNOME-live-x86_64.iso (2,030MB, SHA256, pkglist). |

Featured Distribution: 3CX Phone System |

3CX Phone System is a specialist, Debian-based Linux distribution designed to run a complete unified communications platform. The 3CX client, included in the distribution, can also be installed separately on most hardware as well as the cloud. It provides a complete open standards-based IP PBX and phone system that works with popular SIP trunks and IP phones. It will automatically configure all supported peripherals and it also comes with clients for Windows, OS X, iOS and Android. The ISO image includes a free license for the 3CX PBX edition. The ISO image contains the standard Debian installer which installs a minimal system with the nginx web server, PostgreSQL database, iptables firewall and Secure Shell. Options not relevant to 3CX have been removed from the distribution. Download the installation ISO image from here: debian-amd64-netinst-3cx.iso (628MB). |

Raspberry Pi OS
Raspberry Pi OS (formerly Raspbian) is a free operating system based on Debian GNU/Linux and optimised for the Raspberry Pi hardware (the armhf processor architecture). Raspberry Pi OS comes with over 35,000 packages, or pre-compiled software bundled in a nice format for easy installation on a Raspberry Pi. The initial build was completed in June of 2012, but the distribution continues to be active developed with an emphasis on improving the stability and performance of as many Debian packages as possible. Although Debian produces a distribution for the arm architecture, it is compatible only with versions later than the one used on the Raspberry Pi (ARMv7-A CPUs and higher vs the Raspberry Pi's ARMv6 CPU).
Status: Active
