blendOS is an Arch Linux-based, rolling release distribution which automates installing software from supported distributions (Arch, Fedora, and Ubuntu) into containers. The project's latest snapshot replaces distrobox containers with podman. It is now also easier to install software from Arch straight onto the host distribution. "In addition to the apps available in containers, it’s now possible to install apps straight from the system Arch repos and the Chaotic-AUR repository, on the base itself. This is extremely useful if you want to install a third-party VPN app, for example, or some missing drivers. distrobox has been replaced in favor of our own implementation, using podman directly, built as part of blend, as it was impossible to implement certain features mentioned below using distrobox. Applications and binaries installed in containers now automatically and instantaneously appear on the base system, as expected from a blend of distributions. Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement. Download (MD5), pkglist): blendOS-2023.04.22-x86_64-plasma.iso (3,029MB), blendOS-2023.04.22-x86_64-gnome.iso (2,843MB). |

We call it 'Talos'. The GNOME edition has received several updates to GNOME 43 series. It includes a lot of fixes and polish when GNOME 43 was originally released in September 2022. It comes with a redesigned system status menu, which allows quickly changing commonly-used settings. Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with a click of button. The new design also makes it easy to see the status of your settings at a glance. Our in-house Layouts Switcher application has gained some new features as well as various improvements and fixes - now you can create your own dynamic wallpaper.

The Lubuntu team have announced the launch of Lubuntu 23.04, an interm release which will receive nine months of updates. Several of the changes in version 23.04 include the visual look and effects offered by the LXQt desktop: "Lubuntu previously used the PulseAudio audio system to provide rich audio functionality to our users. However, recently Ubuntu and its flavors have been gradually shifting to using the PipeWire audio server in place of PulseAudio. PipeWire offers several advantages over PulseAudio, including improved Bluetooth support, and more powerful management features for complex audio-related workloads. In order to offer these improved features to our users, Lubuntu has replaced the PulseAudio audio system with PipeWire in Lubuntu 23.04. Since Lubuntu 20.04, the default screensaver has been 'Flurry'. Due to reports of screensaver glitches on certain hardware, we have switched the default screensaver in Lubuntu to GL Matrix. This screensaver features a 3D “digital rain” effect that we have found to be aesthetically pleasing."

Additionally, educational applications are grouped into folders by subject, making the application overview easy to navigate. Using Edubuntu Installer, you can configure the system for a certain age group, whether that be preschool, primary (elementary), secondary (middle/high school) or tertiary (college/university). Each configuration comes with a different set of applications and a different layout and default wallpaper.

Sean Davis has announced the release of Xubuntu 23.04, the latest version from the project integrating the Xfce desktop with a base Ubuntu system. This release revives the concept of a "minimal" Xfce system (formerly known as "Xubuntu Core"): "The Xubuntu team is happy to announce the immediate release of Xubuntu 23.04.

In particular, the Thunar file manager benefits from a new image preview feature, undo and redo functionality, file highlights and recursive search. Xubuntu 23.04 also welcomes Xubuntu Minimal as an official subproject. Xubuntu Minimal is a slimmed-down version of Xubuntu that only includes the bare essentials: the desktop, a few Xfce components and the Xubuntu look and feel. Long-time Xubuntu fans may better know this as Xubuntu Core. After nearly eight years of being a supported, but community-built project, we're happy to finally publish downloads along with the main Xubuntu edition."

Ubuntu Studio is a multimedia-focused commuity edition of Ubuntu. The project has published a new release, Ubuntu Studio 23.04, which offers nine months of support. The new version includes KDE Plasma 5.27 and the PipeWire audio server. The distribution also includes a new system installer: "Ubuntu Studio Installer has been completely rewritten from the ground-up and works better on high-DPI displays. It utilizes the Zenity GTK interface to give users a choice of package selection and is even capable of uninstalling entire groups of packages. Ubuntu Studio Installer can still be used to add or remove the Ubuntu Studio Backports PPA as well as switch between the new PipeWire configuration or the traditional PulseAudio/JACK configuration of past releases (which also installs Studio Controls). Wayland is available and installed by default to select upon login and test but is still unsupported. We have done this at the request of KDE so that it can gain more testing and bug reports. We have done our best to configure it with the default theming and to make sure it picks up your settings, but it is possible some things will be missed and not work quite right. However, it has undergone extensive real-world testing and works well on non-NVIDIA systems." Additional details are presented in the project's release announcement and in the release notes.

As usual, Fedora Workstation features the latest GNOME release. GNOME 44 includes a lot of great improvements, including a new lock screen, a 'background apps' section on the quick menu, and improvements to accessibility settings. In addition, enabling third-party repositories now enables an unfiltered view of applications on Flathub. With this release, we've shortened the default timeout when services shut down. This helps your system power off faster - important when you need to grab your laptop and go. Of course, we produce more than just the Editions. Fedora Spins and Labs target a variety of audiences and use cases, including Fedora Comp Neuro, which provides tools for computational neuroscience, and desktop environments like Fedora LXQt, which provides a lightweight desktop environment.

Theo de Raadt has announced the release of OpenBSD 7.3, the 54th release of the security-oriented operating system. Some of the key features include providing ksh acccess from the system installer, the use of LibreSSL 3.7.2, and OpenSSH 9.3. "We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 7.3. This is our 54th release. We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than twenty years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 7.3 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system." The release announcement goes on to provide a long list of technical changes, including: "Installer, upgrade and bootloader improvements: Made installer answers ! and (S)hell drop into a ksh(1) environment rather than the more limited sh(1). Added support for configuring interfaces by lladdr (MAC). Made the installer skip interface configuration questions when no interfaces are available. Fixed resizing partitions on an auto-allocated disk that had a boot partition. Stopped the installer from asking to initialize disks that have softraid(4) chunks. Made efiboot fdt support device trees with NOPs in them (like the kernel version). Improved the default choice for the installer's install media disk question to show the first disk that (a) is not the root disk and (b) is not a disk with softraid chunks (hosting the root disk, for example). Stopped offering WEP in the installer if not supported. Fixed lock file error on installer exit/abort." Additional information is provided in the changelog. Download (pkglist): amd64/install73.iso (597MB, SHA256, signature), amd64/install73.img (664MB, SHA256, signature). |

NEW • Distribution Release: ExTiX 23.4 |
Rate this project
|
ExTiX is a deepin-based (previously Ubuntu-based) distribution. The latest version is ExTiX 23.4 which previews changes coming to the deepin distribution. "I've released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today (2023-04-03). This ExTiX build is based on deepin 23 alpha 2 (the latest version) released by Deepin Technology on 2023-02-08. Please read the release notes. As you can see, the developers urge people to try deepin alpha 2 in a non-production environment. I must say, though, that I haven't discovered any bugs. And the installed programs won't crash or anything like that. On the contrary, ExTiX Deepin 23.4 with the Deepin DE 23 works pretty well I would say. I have nevertheless kept ExTiX 22.12 with deepin 20.8 on the server. deepin 20.8 is the stable version released 221208. ExTiX 23.4 uses kernel 6.3-rc4. ExTiX 23.4 works in the same way as all other ExTiX versions, i.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live. Use the Refracta installer for that." Additional details are offered in the release announcement. Download (MD5): extix-23.4-64bit-deepin-23-refracta-3050mb-230403.iso (3,129MB, pkglist). |
