Welcome to this year's 14th issue of DistroWatch Weekly!
It seems as though more people are adopting open source software. Some European governments are adopting Linux and LibreOffice while the latest Valve hardware survey shows Linux users make up over 5% of the Steam userbase. With newcomers flowing into the Linux community this seems like a good time to answer questions specifically for Linux novices. In our Questions and Answers section we respond to queries from new users and provide some advice for our latest community members. In our News section we talk about Ubuntu MATE seeking new contributors while the Ubuntu software centre expands to improve Deb package support. We also talk about FreeBSD fixing an exploit in the project's community forum while openSUSE says good-bye to version 15 of openSUSE's Leap edition. We begin this week with a look at Origami Linux, a distribution with an unusual collection of design choices and report on how the distribution works. Last week we talked about age verification and our Opinion Poll asks whether age verification tools will affect your choices when selecting Linux distributions to run. Plus we are pleased to share the releases of the past week and list the torrents we are seeding. We wish you all a fantastic week and happy reading.
This week's DistroWatch Weekly is presented by TUXEDO Computers.

Origami Linux 2026.03
There are several reasons I review projects. Not only are there multiple motivations for test driving various distributions, books, and devices, I believe there are both good and bad reasons for penning a review.
To my mind, one of the best scenarios for sharing a review comes about when I find a useful or interesting piece of technology. When I am so impressed by it that I want to share my discovery with the world, well, those are nice surprises and a pleasure to write. My feelings are more neutral about reviewing projects because other people expect to see reviews of them. Popular distributions such as Ubuntu or openSUSE may or may not introduce any groundbreaking changes, but we always get asked to talk about them because those of the projects which people tend to use the most. Its beneficial to the audience, but usually less gratifying for the reviewer. To my mind, the least satisfying reviews to write happen when a developer or company has asked me to write a review of their product and it turns out to not perform as advertised. Those aren't fun projects to explore, they aren't a pleasure to write, and they tend to only serve the community as a word of warning.
For good or ill, those are the three reasons I usually end up writing a review - I find something appealing on my own, people request reviews of popular projects, or projects approach me to write about them.
This week I ended up test driving a distribution for a new reason, one that I don't think I've ever before had. I'll explain in more detail in a moment. First, I want to introduce Origami Linux.
Origami Linux is a Fedora-based desktop Linux distribution with an immutable root filesystem and atomic updates. It reportedly uses System76's COSMIC desktop. The distribution does not offer a live mode; it brings up the Anaconda system installer right after the initial boot for a guided installation instead. The project's website reports it is optimized with the CachyOS kernel and modern schedulers.
The distribution's website further states it runs packages with CPU optimizations:
Origami Linux is a modern Linux distro prioritizing modern systems. It requires an x86_64-v3 (or newer) CPU to run. Legacy systems with x86_64-v2 and below, as well as legacy NVIDIA cards, are not supported because we ship with the latest NVIDIA drivers.
The project's website also had this unusual warning: "Note: When booting for the first time, you may be prompted to enroll the MOK (Machine Owner Key). The enrollment password is: origami" I didn't find any explanation on the distribution's website concerning why we need to enroll in the MOK, what purpose it would serve, or who supplies the MOK.
The Origami website also repeatedly suggests it is primarily designed for developers. The only feature I found that seemed developer-focused was the inclusion of containers. The website suggests: "Develop in isolated environments while keeping your host clean using Distrobox and Podman."
Another feature of the distribution is it replaces classic command line tools with Rust-written replacements: "Replace legacy tools with Rust-powered alternatives: eza for ls, bat for cat, ripgrep for grep, Helix, LazyGit, Micro, hyperline, yazi, Zellij, Procs, and du-dust out of the box."
As I was reading all of this, the image that was forming in my head was of a bleeding-edge distribution with a locked-down filesystem that optimized packages which would offer little practical benefit, but would prevent older machines from running the operating system. I imagined running COSMIC, a Wayland-only, feature-incomplete, resource-heavy desktop. I was picturing a distribution where I couldn't easily install classic packages, but would need to rely on OSTree and Flatpak and containers to do any testing or development work. On top of all of this I might need to enroll in something which was never properly explained just to get started. I was envisioning running a distribution which would be hampered by Fedora's unusually short support lifespan that would require a major upgrade about once a year. On top of all of this, Origami does not even provide a live environment for testing purposes. We need to dive right into the classic version of Anaconda, one of the more notoriously awkward system installers in the Linux ecosystem, and hope it works.
In short, I was suddenly faced with a distribution which sounded like all of my least favourite technologies and design philosophies available to Linux users all wrapped into one experience. In fact, I struggled to imagine a combination of design choices I would enjoy less. Here I had my personal nightmare of an awkward and slow system installer, a kernel which (despite its claims of optimizations) had always performed poorly in my tests, packages optimized in a way which wouldn't benefit me, but might prevent me from using on some test equipment, a locked down filesystem, and potentially mandatory enrollment in an unknown program. Further, I'd be running one of the heaviest, feature-poor, slowest desktops available. To me, Origami Linux sounded like a horror movie: something that would be so unpleasant to experience that I couldn't turn away from it.
This is probably the worst reason I have every had for writing a review, going in with the expectation that the experience will be bad, and wondering (with a morbid fascination) just how unpleasant the experience could get. With this in mind, I want to make two things clear. First, I didn't go into this review with malicious intent. I was fascinated by how terrible I might find Origami Linux, because I was curious, not because I wanted to put down the developers or their efforts. Some people like containers and immutable filesystems and COSMIC - and that's great. I'm not trying to tell developers not to do something, this was about exploring my personal preferences and what I believed the exact opposite of the sum those preferences would be.
Second, I want to dispel any illusions that this review will have a twist ending. All of this build-up does not resolve itself with me learning the error of my ways and seeing the light in terms of immutable filesystems, unnecessary optimizations, and Wayland. In the end of this article, I don't go frolicking, hand-in-hand, into the sunset with Origami. This is not a movie (or, if it is, it's a horror rather than a comedy) and my computing preferences are built on decades of experience; they're not going to all reverse in the span of a week. This is a review about questionable design choices and technical mistakes, not about personal growth.
Origami Linux 2026.03 is available in just one edition (featuring the COSMIC desktop) and runs on a single architecture: x86_64 with x86_64-v3 optimizations. The distribution's latest release appears to be based on Fedora 43 and some screens refer to the project as "Origami 43". The ISO file is a 4.5GB download.
Installing
Booting from the ISO launches the old Anaconda system installer, the one from pre-Fedora 42 releases. The graphical installer uses a hub screen where we can click on specific modules to configure the system. The installer guides us through picking our language, keyboard layout, disk partitioning, creating a user account, and connecting to the network. When the installer begins copying the distribution's files to the local disk it displays a progress bar, but the bar doesn't move. For 45 minutes the system sat and appeared to do nothing except light up my hard drive, showing no slides or progress or other signs of life. Eventually, the installer reported it was doing some final configuration and finished its work, offering to restart the computer. Installing Origami took about five times longer than most other full-sized distributions, but it did eventually finish successfully.
Early impressions
My new copy of Origami booted to a graphical login screen where I could sign into the COSMIC desktop. COSMIC running in a Wayland session is the sole desktop option.
Once I had signed into my account a welcome window appeared. The welcome window takes us through several steps which I will try to summarize quickly. Origami does not include a default web browser and the first screen offers to fetch any of twelve possible browsers. Most of the popular browsers, and a few more obscure ones, are available. Adding a new browser (or two or three) is as easy as clicking on its name. No progress is shown while new browsers are downloaded, but the browser's button does change once it has been installed. Browsers are installed as Flatpak bundles.
The next page of the welcome screen informs us we can set up the Ubuntu distribution in a container, but no further details on this process are supplied and we're not told why we might want to install Ubuntu. The next screen changes direction and offers to enable screen magnification or display scaling features. Then we're given a chance to connect with detected wireless networks in the area.
The following screens ask us duplicates of the questions the system installer asked, collecting our language, keyboard layout, and timezone. The next screen asks us to pick a desktop theme from one of six options. These options include Dark, Light, Cream, and a few other variations on shades. We are also asked if we'd like to use an interface layout which places COSMIC's panel at the top of the screen with a separate dock at the bottom, or if we'd like to use a singled, unified panel at the bottom of the screen. I decided to take the unified panel approach.
The welcome window then mentions the desktop is capable of working with floating or tiling windows and keyboard shortcuts. We're told how to open the application menu and then the welcome window closes. Getting through this initial greeting is a long process, but it worked without any issues.

(full image size: 1.2MB, resolution: 1680x1050 pixels)
Something I noticed early in my trial was mouse wheel scrolling was reversed. It's semi-common for desktops to use "natural" or inverse scrolling on touchpads, but this might be the first time I've encountered mouse wheel scrolling being inverted. I was not a fan of this upside-down behaviour and found it was easily changed in the COSMIC settings panel.
Hardware
The Origami distribution proved to be stable in my test environments. It ran fairly well on my laptop with networking, audio, and my touchpad all working properly. The COSMIC desktop was a bit sluggish to respond when running in VirtualBox. This was not a surprise as COSMIC tends to be heavier than average in terms of both CPU and memory usage. COSMIC used about five times more CPU than other desktops, such as Xfce or Plasma, when sitting mostly idle, and could sometimes spike to higher ratios of consumption when busy.
Origami occupied a fairly normal amount of memory for a Linux distribution running a heavier desktop, with 1.2GB of RAM being consumed upon login. A new install used about 9GB of disk space, before a web browser was installed, which is a little heavier than average, but not by much.
One of my concerns with Origami, which I had not suspected from reading its website, was that the distribution set up zRAM instead of a swap file or swap partition. When zRAM is enabled, memory which is not actively used can be compressed inside RAM rather than copied out to the disk. In theory, this makes re-loading data into RAM and accessing it faster, at the cost of reserving some RAM for compressed data. This can work well, in some situations, but when RAM nears capacity (and no out of memory service kicks out large processes) the result is the system becomes even more limited than usual in terms of memory and starts swapping (compressing) and retrieving data almost constantly in a loop. This quickly brings the desktop interface to its knees. Disabling the zRAM virtual device fixed this issue.
Included software
Browsing through the application menu we find a small collection of software, mostly members of the COSMIC desktop family. For instance, the menu offers us COSMIC Files, COSMIC Terminal, the COSMIC Store software centre, COSMIC Media Player (with codecs for audio and video files), and COSMIC Screenshot. There are also the COSMIC Text Editor and the COSMIC Settings tool for changing desktop settings. The aforementioned COSMIC applications generally worked well. They tend to be streamlined, with more focus on providing a clean interface than offering features.
Origami Linux 2026.03 -- The application menu
(full image size: 1.2MB, resolution: 1680x1050 pixels)
While there is no default web browser, the welcome window does help us select a browser (or two or more) when a user first logs into their account.
There were a few unfamiliar utilities in the application menu. One was labelled Noctua and, when I opened it, the sparse interface didn't give many hints as to what it was meant to do. With a little experimenting I found it was a document viewer and could be used to open PDFs. Oddly enough, by default, I found PDF documents opened in a web browser rather than in Noctua, which made the document viewer somewhat unnecessary. The other surprise application was called Cloudflare Zero Trust. I hadn't encountered this application before and so I looked it up on the Cloudflare website. After reading the website and the company's briefing documents, I was convinced Zero Trust was a repository for useless buzzwords and sales jargon. I couldn't find any information on where someone would actually use it, except perhaps as an "augmented" VPN, though what set it apart from other VPNs was not specified.
Behind the scenes Origami uses the bash command line shell and the distribution includes manual pages. The common GNU command line programs are also included along with the GNU Compiler Collection. There are some Rust alternatives to the GNU utilities and I will touch upon those in a moment. The systemd software handles init and service manager duties while version 6.19 of the Linux kernel handles hardware support.
As mentioned above, there are Rust-based alternatives to the common GNU command line tools installed on the system. These alternatives are presented and handled in a variety of ways. For example, if we run the classic ps program from the command line our command is redirected to a shell function which suggests we use an alternative called procs instead, then runs ps anyway as we requested. The grep command is also hijacked by a shell function which suggests we use rg and then runs grep as requested. This quickly becomes annoying if we're running classic Unix commands a lot as it results in regular nagging messages in the output. Other commands are redirected using aliases. For instance, cat is silently aliased to bat which displays different output. Likewise cp, ln, mv, sort, and a dozen other commands are aliased to their Rust-based equivalents. This means that we not only get output different from what might be expected, but disabling the new alternatives requires checking in multiple locations to see whether our shell is being redirected by a function or an alias.

(full image size: 1.3MB, resolution: 1680x1050 pixels)
I'd like to clarify that I have nothing against the new Rust-based tools, they mostly perform the same functions as the classics. My issue is with having the command I have run redirected to a different command which can display different output or output which is structured differently than what I requested.
On the topic of working in the terminal, I noticed the default font used in COSMIC Terminal is unusual, and reminds me of Comic Sans. (The name of the font is Maple Mono.) To my eye it looked like the font was out of focus and changed it to another font that was more uniform.
Software management
To manage software packages we can make use of COSMIC Store, a streamlined software centre with a modern look. The Store works fairly quickly and has a focused interface without many options or features. We can browse for applications or perform searches and install new packages with a click. COSMIC Store uses Flatpak as a backend (it does not work with classic packages) and can add, remove, and update Flatpak bundles. Alternatively, we can manage Flatpak bundles from the command line.
Origami Linux 2026.03 -- The software centre
(full image size: 1.4MB, resolution: 1680x1050 pixels)
While many Linux distributions use Flathub as a repository or don't include any default repositories, Origami enables two repositories by default: Flathub and COSMIC.
Containers and the immutable filesystem
Origami is an immutable distribution which means most of its filesystem is mounted in read-only mode, preventing us from modifying the core operating system. Only files in a few specific locations, such as /var and /etc, can be altered. Should we wish to work with a more flexible filesystem, either for system management or development purposes, then we will need to make use of containers. The distribution includes a few container tools, including Podman and Distrobox. I focused on Distrobox and there is a convenient desktop application called BoxBuddy available through the software centre to help set up and manage containers.
Using the containers we can install the minimal versions of alternative distributions. This allows us to install classic packages, change their filesystems, and experiment without harming the host operating system (Origami).

(full image size: 887kB, resolution: 1680x1050 pixels)
While the software center, COSMIC Store, will handle Flatpak bundles it does not notify the user when there are core system updates available. In fact, as far as I could tell, Origami does not provide any method for notifying the user when security updates for the system become available.
In the project's wiki I found a page which talks about updates. The wiki tells us that we can run a command called update to fetch updates for everything on the system (Flatpak bundles, containers, and system upgrades). Alternatively, we can perform separate checks for each of these categories. The command "rpm-ostree upgrade" will fetch security updates for the core of the distribution.
System updates are massive, at least early on, and can consume several hundred megabytes of bandwidth. While large and slow, the updates I fetched applied successfully.
Conclusions
I went into my trial with Origami being not only aware that I wouldn't appreciate aspects of the distribution, but with a curiosity about what sort of experience I would have using a distribution which makes every design choice in direct contradiction to what I want. Origami uses an immutable base, I prefer writable filesystems; Origami is Wayland-only, I prefer X11 for performance; this distro uses a new and inefficient desktop environment, I like something battle tested and snappy; Origami relies heavily on containers and Flatpaks while I prefer to use traditional packages; and so on...
While I expected to have an unpleasant experience, I was unprepared for how frustrating using the distribution would be at points. Origami doesn't offer a live desktop, making it harder to test hardware compatibility; the distribution uses an old and painfully slow system installer; common command line tools redirect to other tools and don't use a consistent method of redirection, making it more work to disable this behaviour. The desktop is sluggish, there is no notification of software updates (despite there being three separate sources of software), and the welcome window is all over the place - duplicating questions from the installer, vaguely mentioning some features without explanation, and at other times being quite useful in customizing the desktop.
Using this distribution was like sandpapering my skin and underlines how important it is to have multiple distributions in the world. Not only because I very much want to use an operating system which is the polar opposite of Origami Linux, but also because I'm aware there are probably lots of people in the world who will be delighted to have a bleeding-edge, Flatpak-focused, Wayland-powered, immutable, build-optimized distribution. People should have the freedom to choose what they want, whether I like it or not. Just as I would like to have options which match my workflow and preferences.
I will say one thing in Origami's favour, and it may be the sole thing which I appreciated about the distribution. I liked that the distribution included an all-in-one "update" command which works for everything - Flatpak bundles, containers, and the core system. Very few distributions include an all-in-one meta package manager and the rare time I encounter one, I really appreciate it. I don't like to run separate update commands for every source of software and this was a welcome feature in a sea of irritations.

Ubuntu MATE seeks new contributors, Ubuntu software centre expands deb support, FreeBSD fixes forum compromise, openSUSE 15 Leap reaches end of life
Martin Wimpress started the Ubuntu MATE project a dozen years ago and, as his free time shrinks and other projects beckon, he is planning to step down from the role of Project Leader: "I created Ubuntu MATE back in 2014, and my involvement in the project is coming to a close. Perhaps you can help? As another development cycle passes, I find myself lacking the time I once had to work on Ubuntu MATE. And, to be frank, I don't have the passion for the project that I once had. When I have time to tinker, my interests are elsewhere. With that in mind, I'm interested in handing over the reins to contributors who do have the time and energy to work on Ubuntu MATE."

Canonical has gradually been shifting its focus when it comes to package management on Ubuntu, slowly introducing Snap packages as an alternative to classic Deb packages and replacing some large Deb packages with Snap bundles. The software centre has been primarily focused on providing access to Snap packages. It's FOSS is reporting that Ubuntu 26.04 will restore some balance between the two formats, making it easier to manage Deb packages from within the software centre: "With the upcoming Ubuntu 26.04 LTS, the App Center will begin displaying Debian packages installed from official repositories. Until now, it only showed Snap apps, making it unnecessarily difficult to manage .deb packages through the GUI. In fact, uninstalling a .deb from the App Center required manually searching for it and navigating to its listing page. This change won't end the Snap vs Deb debate, but it's definitely a step in the right direction."

The FreeBSD team is responding to a report that the project's web forums have been defaced and may have been compromised by attackers. "It seems like the forums have been defaced, not sure how, but it's loading a webpage from a GitHub repository which seems to include some TCP SYN flood scripts." While details are currently scarce, people should hold off on visiting the official FreeBSD forums until the situation has been resolved.
Update: The FreeBSD forums are back on-line: "After some investigation, the defacement was labeled a low-hanging-fruit type of script kiddie attack that only scratched a little bit of the surface of our installation. Nothing on the actual server was in any way touched, altered, or otherwise compromised, including databases and credentials."

The openSUSE project has posted a reminder that openSUSE 15.6 "Leap" is about to reach the end of its supported life. The 15.x series received eight years of support and users are advised to upgrade to version 16 before the end of April 2026. "The series for openSUSE Leap 15 is coming to an end after nearly eight years of providing a consistent community distribution that's upgradable to SUSE's enterprise product. Leap 15.6 will reach End of Life (EOL) at the close of this month closing out an end of an era as it will no longer receive maintenance or security updates going forward. The Leap 15 journey began it journey on May 25, 2018, when 15.0 was released as a fresh community build on top of SUSE Linux Enterprise 15."

New to Linux questions
Making-the-leap asks: For someone new to Linux, which distro offers the most Windows-like experience?
DistroWatch answers: The Linux distribution which looks the most like Windows while providing solid hardware support, good defaults, and a wide range of software is probably Zorin OS. The Zorin distribution is a member of the popular Ubuntu family, which has a wide range of hardware support, lots of software packages, and a huge community that provides support. Zorin has a number of desktop themes and layouts, with the default style resembling Windows 7.

Wants-to-have-fun asks: How is gaming on Linux these days?
DistroWatch answers: It is pretty good. In my experience, performance when gaming on Linux tends to be about the same as on Windows, or a little better. Performance will depend on a lot of factors, including video card, drivers, which games, which desktop you are running and so on. In my experience, when there is a performance gap, it is easier to trim down or tweak Linux to make it faster than it is to do the same with Windows.
Game compatibility is great these days with many games, including large titles from big studios, running on Linux - either natively or through Proton.
The only sticking point with gaming on Linux is with games which install rootkits on the system (also known as anti-cheat measures).
I'd like to point out the Steam Deck gaming console runs a flavour of Linux and the company behind it, Valve, continues to try to make its vast catalog of games run on the Steam Deck. If a game has been verified to work on the Steam Deck then it should run on most desktop Linux distributions. At the time of writing there are over 20,000 games on Steam which are marked as compatible with Linux.
* * * * *
Craving-rare-wisdom asks: What is something you wish someone had told you when you first got into Linux? Something not in the normal guides/FAQs?
I first got into Linux in the 1990s so the advice which might have been helpful to me at the time might not be applicable today. The community and Linux landscape were different then. Network speeds were not what they are now either, making experimenting and upgrading a bigger commitment.
What probably would have been helpful for me would have been a chart showing which distributions were related and how. Back then we did not have a family tree showing the links between distributions and DistroWatch didn't exist yet. It was confusing, for me, as a new Linux user, to learn my first desktop distribution used RPM files and had documentation indicating the system used Red Hat components, but then learning the distribution was not binary compatible with Red Hat Linux.
Back then, before a lot of us had access to high-speed Internet connections, easy to use portable package formats, or virtual machines, figuring out how to get software working and what applications would be compatible with which distributions was often a lengthy trial and error experience. So any documentation or explanation which would talk about how distributions were related and how to determine software compatibility would have been helpful.
These days - in the age of virtual machines, Flatpak and AppImage portable packages, and Distrobox containers - software compatibility is not something about which we need to worry. If an application doesn't work in our chosen distribution, it's often a matter of spinning up a virtual machine or a new container and, five minutes later, we can run the application.
These days, I think what information would be useful has shifted. These days we have hundreds more distributions, most of which can be tested and run in parallel, and new systems can be downloaded in minutes. Portable packages are now the norm. As a result, users need to worry about software compatibility less and can instead focus on finding a distribution which fits their philosophy (such as rolling vs fixed or libre vs mixed licenses). Today we have a lot of choice and often times the choice of distribution is more personal or philosophical than practical.
Which brings me to the lesser discussed advice I'd probably share with people today. The barrier to trying new distributions is quite low and, as a result, I think people are often more inclined to hop between distributions rather than settle into using one. I often come across forum or mailing list posts from people who have tried one distro, run into a minor problem, installed another distro and run into a different problem, installed a third distro and run into yet another minor problem. Instead of settling in and fixing the (relatively) minor issues they have continued to leap from one project to another, hoping to find perfection. They don't find perfection (no operating system is perfect) and so they feel like giving up after hours of hopping between distributions. If they had stopped and sorted out their first, small issue they would have saved a lot of time and effort.
I think my advice would be: when you start out with Linux, pick one of the mainstream, easy to use distributions. It doesn't matter so much which one or which family, just select one of the big name projects where there is a large community that can offer support. You will get further and have an easier time digging into a beginner friendly distro and solving one or two issues than if you tried to hop from project to project looking for your ideal system. A person will save time and learn more by installing a different file manager or updating their video driver than they will by installing an alternative distro.

4MLinux 51.0
The 4MLinux project has published an update for its lightweight distribution. 4MLinux 51.0 includes a few key changes, including new media playing options. "The status of the 4MLinux 51.0 series has been changed to STABLE. Edit your documents with LibreOffice 26.2 and GNOME Office (AbiWord 3.0.7, GIMP 3.0.8, Gnumeric 1.12.60), surf the Internet with Firefox 149.0 and Chrome 146.0, and send emails via Thunderbird 140.9. ... As always, the new major release introduces several new features, including improved support for ZX Spectrum and Atari music via the AY/YM emulation library. Midori (web browser) and cmus (ncurses-based music player) have been added as downloadable extensions. 4MLinux now features a comprehensive suite of drivers: Mesa 25.3.1 (with VAAPI and Vulkan for modern GPUs), Mesa 21.3.9 (providing VAAPI and VDPAU for legacy adapters), Intel VAAPI (both i965 and iHD), and the latest firmware for AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA accelerators. Additionally, the system now intelligently identifies your hardware and applies the optimal settings for your machine." A summary of changes and package updates can be found in the release announcement.
Elive 3.8.50
The Elive project has pubished a new stable release of its Debian-based distribution featuring the Englightenment desktop. The new version uses Debian 12 (Old Stable) as a base and offers both versions 16 and 27 of the Enlightenment interface. "Unique features on this release: OpenRC: Included optional init system available during installation for users who prefer a SystemD alternative that adheres closely to the UNIX philosophy. Synthwave Player: An impressive new music player developed for months by Elive is now showing to the world and included by default. Voice Control: An extremely-light application for hands-free interaction (no-AI), always optional. Desktop Clock: A simple, lightweight desktop clock that we made for the E16 desktop. Enlightenment 27: A preview of the last Enlightenment E27 with a few Elive features included is included by default to use and play. Debian 12 base: This will be the last build of Elive including the very solid Debian 12 + Backports with all the stability reached during this time in an extremely polished system, a perfect LTS snapshot of Elive Stable." Note to clarify the release announcement: Elive 3.8.50 runs systemd by default, but users can optionally run SysV init instead with the selection made during the install process. When SysV init is selected, OpenRC runs as the service manager on top of SysV init. OpenRC-init is not used as the init process.

As usual, we provide a wide range of installation desktops and init systems, suited to all levels of Linux experience - from base profiles installable from command-line to the fully-equipped community editions which offer a complete desktop setup. All settings have been updated to the newest releases of their respective DEs and applications. The default X server now is XLibre; X.Org is still packaged and available for installation. The default audio system is no longer PulseAudio; we bundle PipeWire in the ISO images." Read the release announcement and the release notes for more details.

This will help with third party app compatibility for apps using Play Integrity. The search screen has been redesigned with separate tabs for Apps (previous Common apps), Open-Source apps, and Web Apps (previous PWAs) for a cleaner browsing experience. "Common apps" has been renamed to "Apps" across the entire app for clarity. Camera - Cleaned up the settings screen by removing redundant entries, making it easier to navigate. Fairphone 6 - The Switch entry has been moved to the Buttons section under System settings for better discoverability. Setup Wizard - Devices can now be provisioned directly from the First Time Setup Wizard (FTSW), simplifying enterprise enrollment." Additional information can be found on the project's releases page. A list of supported devices and install options can be found in the devices documentation.

Will age verification affect which distribution you install?
Over the past few weeks we have heard a lot about age verification laws. Users are asking which distributions will be including age verification code, distribution developers are publishing responses to the new laws, and there is a good deal of speculation as to how age verification (and other forms of user tracking) might be implemented.
At the end of the day, age verification is one of many considerations people may take into account when choosing their preferred Linux distribution. How much of an impact will the new age tracking features have on your choice of distribution?
You can see the results of our previous poll on NetBSD jails in our previous edition. All previous poll results can be found in our poll archives.

Will age verification affect your choice in distro?
| Yes - a lot: | 1189 (54%) |
| Yes - a little: | 252 (11%) |
| No: | 425 (19%) |
| Unsure: | 307 (14%) |
| I do not run Linux: | 21 (1%) |

Tracking age verification
The most requested feature we have received this month is, without question, a way to search for Linux distributions based on whether they include age verification code. So far there aren't any Linux distributions which include age verification code (and just one flavour of BSD includes age declaration services), but it's probably coming down the pipe in the near future.
With this in mind, we are adding an option which will allow people to search for age verification style features. To be more precise, we're dividing distributions into five categories:
- Distributions which do not include any age verification code. Currently, this appears to be all of them.
- Distributions which include age declaration code, but do not force the user to participate. This is referred to as "Age Declaration (Passive)" on our search page.
- Projects which include age declaration code and enforce its usage will be referred to as "Age Declaration (Active)".
- Distros which include age verification code and do not force the user to set it up will be called "Age Verification (Passive)".
- As you might expect, distros which force users to use age verification code will be tagged as "Age Verification (Active)".
You might be wondering: What is the difference between "declaration" and "verification"? Age declaration is when the user can tell their operating system they are any age they want and the OS will not attempt to verify this data, it will just blindly report the information the user supplied. So if the user says "I was born in 1980" the OS will report they are 46 years old, no questions asked.
Age verification is when the OS includes checks, such as ID scans, 2FA, or key verification to confirm the user's age and identity. The OS will then report the confirmed information to requesting apps and websites.
The new age declaration/verification tag is available under the "Distribution Category" section of our Search page
