postmarketOS is an Alpine-based distribution for mobile devices. The project's latest release is version 25.06 which is the first stable version to use the systemd init software. "As always we target the most recent Alpine release. In case of v25.06 it is the excellent Alpine Linux 3.22. Mobile UI versions: GNOME 48 and gnome-shell-mobile 48.mobile.0 replace GNOME 47 and 46-mobile.1 from v24.12. With the new versions we get massive performance improvements with dynamic triple buffering and more, new fonts, notification stacking, window placement and input improvements and much more. Thanks to Jonas, Achill and all the GNOME contributors! KDE Plasma Mobile 6.3.5 replaces version 6.2.4 from v24.12. This release has improvements for the task switcher, window placement, action drawer, quick settings, status bar, volume controls, manual screen rotation, a new traffic monitor in the Wi-Fi settings and major bug fixes regarding the lockscreen and dual-sim devices. The new chat page has gotten new UX as well. See the recent dev log post for details (search for 6.3). Thanks to Devin, Bhushan, Luis, Micah, Vlad, User8395, Sebastian, Bart and all the KDE contributors! Phosh 0.47.0 replaces version 0.45.0 from v24.12. Between these releases, Phosh has gained support for setting a lockscreen wallpaper (which we have enabled in pmOS), quick settings improvements, searching in the file chooser portal and adjusting haptic strength in the settings. In postmarketOS we have changed the default on-screen-keyboard to Stevia. See the edge post if you want to keep using squeekboard. Stevia supports word completion, character popover and a lot more! Thanks to Guido, Stefan, Achill and all the Phosh contributors!

NEW • Distribution Release: Exton Linux 250621 "OpSuS" |
Rate this project
|
Arne Exton has announced the availability of a new "OpSuS" edition of Exton Linux. Based on openSUSE Tumbleweed, it uses the lightweight LXQt desktop environment, which means that it can be run smoothly even on fairly old computers: "I've made a new version of EXTON OpSuS with LXQt 2.2.0 as the only desktop environment. The ISO image is therefore rather small (1,850MB), which means that you can run the system from RAM really fast even if you have only 4GB RAM. This new EXTON OpSuS build is made from 'scratch', following the 'openSUSE:Expert Installation' Wiki. Linux kernel 6.14.6 is used when running EXTON OpSuS live. When running the system from hard drive you can use openSUSE's original kernel, right now it is version 6.15.2. When the boot process is ready, you will end up at LightDM's login screen. You can log in to the LXQt desktop as user with password 'live' or as root with password 'root'. Version 250621 of EXTON OpSuS can run on really old computers. As an example I could run it on my 17-year old Acer Aspire 5102 WLMi laptop." Read the release announcement for further information. This variant of Exton Linux is available for download from SourceForge: exton-opsus-64bit-lxqt-refractasnapshot-1850mb-250621.iso (1,904MB, MD5, pkglist). |

NEW • Distribution Release: Kali Linux 2025.2 |
Rate this project
|
The Kali Linux team has released a new snapshot of the project's penetration testing distribution. Kali Linux 2025.2 features GNOME 48 and KDE Plasma 6.3, but the biggest visible change is to the application menu: "We've completely reworked the Kali menu. It's now reorganized to follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework structure, which means that finding the right tool for your task should now be a lot more intuitive for red and blue teams alike. Previously the Kali menu structure followed what was in BackTrack, which followed WHAX before it. The previous structure was an in-house item, before MITRE was a thing. When our menu was first created, there wasn't as much design planning done, which we suffered for later. It meant that over time, scaling and adding new tools became difficult for us. The knock on effect was that this made it harder for you, the end users, to discover new tools as similar tools with overlapping functions were in different places or missing entries. Yes, seasoned professionals may not use the menu to start up items, using shortcuts such as super key and typing the tool name, or via a terminal window. We see the menu as a way to discover tools." Additional information is provided in the release announcement.

The Rocky Linux project has published Rocky Linux 10.0, which mirrors the changes and updates from upstream's Enterprise Linux product line. Some of the key changes in version 10.0 include dropping X11 in favour of Wayland for the GNOME desktop session and introducing a RISC-V branch. "All 32-bit packages have been removed from Rocky Linux 10. This means that 32-bit applications will no longer run on this version of Rocky Linux. Please use 64-bit libraries or containers with 32-bit dependencies instead. Users will have administrative privileges by default, unless you deselect the option. The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is now the default for graphical remote access, replacing VNC. The DHCP client in RL 10 is implemented as an internal subsystem of NetworkManager. The legacy dhcp-client package is no longer supported upstream and has been removed. The ISC DHCP server is end-of-life upstream and is replaced by its successor, Kea DHCP, in RL 10. In RL 10, Wayland replaces the X.Org Server. Xwayland will support most X11 clients that have not yet been ported to Wayland. Some desktop applications and components are also replaced in RL 10." Details can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes.
