NEW • Distribution Release: Alpine Linux 3.23.0 |
Rate this project
(8.9)
|
The Alpine Linux team has announced a new version of its lightweight distribution. The project's latest release, version 3.23.0, introduces a new version of the apk package manager and makes some adjustments to how kernel packages are handled. It also features the new long-term supported Linux kernel, version 6.18. "We are pleased to announce the release of Alpine Linux 3.23.0, the first release in the v3.23 stable series. Version 3 of apk is now ready for Alpine 3.23.0. This should be a safe and seamless upgrade from version 2, but might have breaking changes if you use libapk. The package manager has been upgraded to v3, but keeping the v2 index and package format for now. See apk-tools v3.0.0 release notes for more details. A 'linux-stable' kernel replaces 'linux-edge' with an identical configuration as 'linux-lts' while following 'stable' instead of 'long-term' releases. On systems with 'linux-edge' installed, apk automatically installs 'linux-stable' as a replacement. See the wiki for details about this release. As always, make sure to use 'apk upgrade --available' when switching between major versions." Additional details and a list of important updated packages can be found in the release announcement. Download (pkglist): alpine-standard-3.23.0-x86_64.iso (344MB, SHA256, signature), alpine-extended-3.23.0-x86_64.iso (1,346MB, SHA256, signature).

NEW • Distribution Release: Armbian 25.11.1 |

Armbian is a Linux distribution designed for ARM (and other) development boards. It is usually based on one of the stable or development versions of Debian or Ubuntu. The proejct's latest snapshot is version 25.11.1 and it features a wider range of hardware support and Btrfs boot support. "This release advances Armbian on three fronts: more boards now run on mainline-based firmware with BTRFS boot support; hardware coverage has grown significantly across multiple vendors; and the build framework has been upgraded with mmdebstrap, the lowmem extension, first-boot configuration injection, improved release logging, and more robust keyring and mirror handling. In our continued push toward mainline kernel support across our board portfolio, this release marks a significant milestone - the progressive retirement of vendor-specific boot loaders on several boards." Additional details can be found in the release announcement. A list of supported boards and download options can be found on the project's download page. Quick download links for the x86_64 flavour based on Ubuntu 24.04 "Noble" (with GNOME) and Debian 13 "Trixie": Armbian_25.11.1_Uefi-x86_noble_current_6.12.58.img.xz (2,265MB, SHA256, signature, torrent), Armbian_25.11.1_Uefi-x86_trixie_current_6.12.58_minimal.img.xz (910MB, SHA256, signature, torrent, pkglist). |

This release will receive bugfixes and security updates for seven months (up until 2026-06-30). The old release 25.05 Warbler is now officially deprecated and will reach its end-of-life and stop receiving security updates after 2025-12-31." The new release also introduces version 49 of the GNOME desktop and updates the LLVM compiler to version 21.

The CachyOS project, which develops a highly-optimised, Arch Linux-based distribution with the latest KDE Plasma as the default live desktop, has updated its ISO image to version 251129: "This is our seventh release this year, bringing better accessibility, changes to mkinitcpio, and more. First, we are pleased to bring Orca and espeak-ng to the ISO image and installer. This adds crucial support for users with visual impairments, helping them navigate the CachyOS installation process. Next, we have enabled the mkinitcpio 'systemd' hook for supported configurations. Since ZFS and Bcachefs do not currently support this hook, it is automatically disabled if either is selected as the root filesystem. Additionally, we are now installing bcachefs-dkms, which replaces the default kernel module to provide better integration for Bcachefs users. We have prepared the installer to support Plasma Login Manager and Cosmic Greeter. While we plan to use Plasma Login Manager as a replacement for SDDM in the future, we are holding it back for now as it currently lacks integration with KDE Settings. However, Cosmic Greeter is now used for COSMIC installations, providing a smoother experience with the COSMIC desktop." See the release announcement for more details.

The Solus project has published a snapshot of its rolling release distribution. The new version, labelled 4.8, replaces the old software centre, does away with Python 2, and completes the usr-merge process. "In October, we made the jump to a new epoch, the final chapter of our Usr-Merge saga. With the new epoch, we started using a new package repository, named Polaris, after the North Star. This unlocked our ability to remove Usr-Merge compatibility symbolic links from packages, update our systemd package, and more. You'll notice that the Solus Software Center is a thing of the past. While it was a popular program among users, it had problems, the first of which being it was written in Python 2. While it could have been ported to Python 3, this would have taken considerable effort, not just in porting, but also in testing. Even with that, it sometimes had reliability issues, and it had no support for Flatpaks. By switching to GNOME Software and KDE Discover, we are using ready-made and supported solutions to graphical package management." Additional information can be found in the release announcement.

Bryan Poerwo has announced the release of a brand-new version of EndeavourOS, an Arch Linux-based distribution with a customised KDE Plasma as the default desktop and the Calamares system installer. This new release carries the code name "Ganymede": "The long wait is over, Ganymede has arrived. The live environment and the offline installer ship with Calamares 25.11.1.9, Firefox 145.0.1. Linux 6.17.8, Mesa 25.2.7, X.Org Server 21.1.20, nvidia-utils 580.105.08. NVIDIA support has been significantly improved. Previously, the ISO image always included the standard NVIDIA package by default. Now, the system automatically detects the GPU during ISO boot and installs the correct driver, either 'nvidia' or 'nvidia-open'. Support for 'nvidia-open' has been added both to the ISO image environment and to the installer. The detection process ensures that the appropriate modules are loaded in the live session and correctly installed onto the target system. In short, NVIDIA driver handling is fully automatic, supports both GPU families, and uses the correct modules for your GPU at every stage when booting ISO using the NVIDIA boot option. The 'broadcom-wl' wireless driver is no longer enabled by default on the ISO image because it can cause other network devices to malfunction and may lead to system issues."
