RakuOS is an immutable Linux distribution based on Fedora, with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and COSMIC desktops. The project's latest release is based on Fedora 44 and introduces some key changes. "The old behavior (RakuOS Linux 43): On every image update, your overlay was wiped. The system blocked at a black screen or Plymouth while all your packages were reinstalled from scratch. No network? No usable system. This was especially painful for laptop users on spotty Wi-Fi. The new behavior (RakuOS Linux 44): Your overlay is kept intact across image updates your apps stay installed and usable immediately after reboot. Package database rebuilding now happens silently in the background after you log in Desktop notifications keep you informed of rebuild progress. No network on boot? The system handles it gracefully, defers the rebuild to your next boot with a notification explaining what happened, and retries automatically for functions that require network. Image updates are now fully offline no internet connection required after an image update is installed. The RPM database merge and package list reconciliation work entirely from what's already on disk." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download (MD5, pkglist): rakuos-cosmic-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,328MB), rakuos-gnome-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,179MB), rakuos-kde-2026.05.16-amd64.iso (4,489MB). |

Joshua Webb has announced the release of an updated version of RakuOS, a Fedora-based immutable Linux distribution with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and, newly introduced in this version, COSMIC desktops: "RakuOS Linux 2026.04.15 is a major release and our last major update for the Fedora 43 base as we begin to move towards Fedora 44, introducing our first COSMIC desktop edition ISO image, a new live ISO image installation experience, and full Rust rewrites of our core desktop applications. RakuOS Linux now ships its first COSMIC desktop ISO image, alongside our existing GNOME and KDE editions. Built on the System76 COSMIC desktop environment, it delivers a clean, modern experience on top of RakuOS's immutable, container-native foundation. Note of caution: COSMIC is still maturing and currently has some issues with gaming. If you are a gamer, we recommend holding off on the COSMIC edition until these issues are resolved by System76." See the detailed release announcement for more information. Download (pkglist): rakuos-kde-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,384MB), rakuos-gnome-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,201MB), rakuos-cosmic-2026.04.15-amd64.iso (4,376MB). Separate ISO image with support for NVIDIA GPUs are also available. |

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.

Ezarcher
Ezarcher is a set of Arch-based live Linux distribution with a number of popular desktops, including Cinnamon, GNOME, KDE Plasma, LXQt, MATE and Xfce. All desktop environments are provided in their default upstream state, without any customisations. The distribution can be installed to a hard disk using either the text-mode "archinstall" method or the graphical Calamares system installer. Unlike Arch Linux which generally deploys the latest stable kernel, Ezarcher runs exclusively on the long-term supported variant of the Linux kernel. Besides the distribution, the project also offers build templates to guide users to customise and re-build their own live medium with one of the desktop environments on offer.
