Hedinux GNU/Linux
The goal of Hedinux GNU/Linux was to develop an easy-to-use Linux operating system, accessible to all users, irrespective of whether they are computer savvy or not. Hedinux will come in two editions - one for Linux beginners with an intuitive graphical installer and easy system administration tools, while the other will be "from source", designed as a modular system with binary packages built by the user directly from source code. Hedinux was an independently developed distribution inspired by the Linux From Scratch and Beyond Linux From Scratch books.

NEW • Distribution Release: NethServer 8.5 |
Rate this project
|
NethServer is a Rocky Linux-based application server specifically designed for small offices and medium enterprises. The project's latest version, 8.5, introduces worker node compatiblity checks, new Samba features, S3 backup support. "Worker node version check - A safety check has been added when a new worker node joins the cluster: its core version is now compared with that of the leader node to ensure compatibility. Before joining the cluster, always update the cluster core and ensure the latest core version is used on new worker nodes. Hetzner S3 backup support - Added support for configuring Hetzner S3 as a custom backup destination. Also fixed a bug that prevented renaming custom S3 backup destinations. Samba domain member role and new features - The core Samba application can now be installed from the Software Center and configured as an Active Directory domain member, providing shared folders in a domain File Server role." Additional details can be found in the project's release notes. NethServer does not provide ISO files, instead it offers virtual machine images (for KVM and VMware) and install instructions for adding the project's software to existing installs. Download options and install steps can be found on the project's Installation page. |

The Parrot team have announced the release of Parrot 6.4, which will likely be the final release of the 6.x series. "We are proud to announce Parrot Security 6.4, the latest release of our security oriented operating system, this new version comes packed with most of the enhancements that our vibrant community asked for, and it features the amazing work of many new contributors. Many tools, like Metasploit, Sliver, Caido and Empire received important updates, the Linux kernel was updated to a more recent version, and the latest LTS version of Firefox was provided with all our privacy oriented patches. Parrot 6.4 will most likely be the last release of the 6.x branch." The release announcement goes on to share some highlights: "All the Debian compatible tools provided by Microsoft are now available for installation via APT from the official Parrot repository, so we officially support Powershell 7.5, .NET runtime and SDKs from version 5 to version 9 and many more! parrot-menu got new desktop entries (like Sliver, Rocket) and several other launchers got updated." Please note, at the time of writing, the "check hashes" for verifying downloads published on the Parrot website are for version 6.3.2, not the new 6.4 release. Download (pkglist): Parrot-home-6.4_amd64.iso (2,592MB, torrent), Parrot-security-6.4_amd64.iso (5,511MB, torrent). |

Arne Exton has announced the release of a new "DebEX" edition of Exton Linux, based on the upcoming release of Debian 13. It uses the KDE Plasma 6.3.5 desktop and comes with the Calamares system installer: "I have made a new extra version of DebEX KDE Plasma live system, efi. It's a pure Debian Sid/Trixie (upcoming Debian 13) system. There are no Ubuntu or Kubuntu elements involved in DebEX. DebEX KDE Plasma Sid uses the KDE Plasma Desktop 6.3.5, the latest version, released 2025-05-06, as the desktop environment. Linux kernel 6.15.3 is used. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 2025-07-07. VirtualBox Guest Additions and VMware Tools are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX KDE in full screen. I've installed the full KDE Plasma desktop using the command 'sudo apt install task-kde-desktop'. In order to save space I have removed LibreOffice. I have added Calamares 3.3.14 installer framework. Now you can choose language when the installation starts. You can even use Calamares in VirtualBox and VMware on non-efi computers without problems. You can also use the Refracta installer." Here is the full release announcement. Download: debex-64bit-trixie-plasma-refractasnapshot-calamares-3420mb-250707.iso (3,506MB, MD5, pkglist). |

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based distribution which offers a rolling-release upgrade approach. The project's latest snapshot introduces a rewritten package manager (RPK2) and a new KDE-based desktop environment which uses Plasma 6 packages. "2025.3 images ship with RPK2, our rewrite of Rhino PKG in Nushell, by default. We have already written a blog post detailing the changes that came in RPK2, which we recommend checking out if you haven't already. We also recommend all users review the updated Rhino PKG Wiki or rpk help message to learn about the new commands and shorthands. We have also announced the release of our UBXI KDE Desktop package this release cycle, based on Plasma 6. You can read the full announcement here. Additionally, we want to reiterate that we plan to release official UBXI KDE disk image spins by the end of the year, shipping alongside the standard Unicorn Desktop images, to allow for more desktop options out-of-the-box. Pacstall has had a few major bumps in between Rhino Linux 2025.2 and 2025.3. As we have mentioned before, with Pacstall being integral to Rhino Linux, as well as sharing developers between the projects, we feel it's important to share information about these releases as well." Additional information is provided in the release announcement. Download (SHA256): Rhino-Linux-2025.3-amd64.iso (2,880MB, pkglist), Rhino-Linux-2025.3-arm64.iso (2,740MB). |

The MocaccinoOS development team has announced the release of MocaccinoOS 1.8.3, a minor update of the project's minimalist, Gentoo-based Linux distribution with a custom package manager called "Luet" and a choice of four popular desktops: "Today we are releasing MocaccinoOS 1.8.3. This is mostly an upgraded version that doesn't introduce too many new features. Everything is compiled against a very recent Gentoo Portage tree. Changes since 1.8.2: Linux kernel is upgraded to 6.12.35 (LTS); Mesa version 25.1.4; Qt updated to 6.9.1; NVIDIA drivers version 570.153.02 (available in repository); KDE Plasma 6.3.5; GNOME 47.3. Issues and improvements: we are aware that MOS images are not fully EFI complaint, certain (mostly older) systems are not booting properly with EFISTUB used in our images. At the moment we do not have a proper solution and the workaround is to change your BIOS settings to boot in legacy mode. Notes for testers: additional software can be installed through Flatpak, docker or the community repository. Please give us feedback by reporting bugs or sharing your ideas with us." Continue to the release announcement for further details. Download links (pkglist): MocaccinoOS-GNOME-0.20250705.iso.tar.xz (1,971MB, SHA256), MocaccinoOS-KDE-0.20250705.iso.tar.xz (2,039MB, SHA256), MocaccinoOS-MATE-0.20250705.iso.tar.xz (1,969MB, SHA256), MocaccinoOS-XFCE-0.20250705.iso.tar.xz (1,873MB, SHA256). |

Antônio Vinicius Menezes Medeiros has announced the release of Linux Kamarada 15.6, an updated version of the project's general-purpose, openSUSE-based distribution. This new build updates the GNOME desktop to version 45 and improves its integration with smartphones with the help of the GSConnect GNOME extension. "I am proud to announce that Linux Kamarada 15.6 is ready for everyone to use. Linux Kamarada is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE Leap and is intended for use on desktops at home and at work, in both private companies and government entities. It features the essential software selection for any Linux installation and a nice-looking modern desktop. The most notable update was to the GNOME desktop, which on Linux Kamarada 15.4 and 15.5 was at version 41, and is now at 45. The GNOME desktop has a new quick settings menu. Its new design makes it easy to quickly see the status (whether WiFi is on or off, whether Bluetooth is on or off) as well as change commonly-used settings (connect to a WiFi network, pair a Bluetooth device). Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with the click of button." See the release announcement for more information and screenshots.

Valeria Fadeeva has announced the release of a new version of Melawy Linux, an Arch-based desktop Linux distribution with a customised KDE Plasma as the preferred desktop. The new version, labelled as 2025.07.04, comes with updated packages as well as various important changes. Most notably, the distribution now uses the XanMod kernel, a general-purpose Linux kernel with custom settings and third-party patches. Previously, Melawy Linux used a kernel built by CachyOS for improved performance and responsiveness, but the CachyOS kernel does not work on some laptops. Also, the XanMod kernel offers support for Waydroid, a container-based method that enables Android to run in a containerized environment on Linux systems. The new release also comes with unspecified bug fixes. Visit the project's news page to read the brief release announcement (in Russian) and to see the screenshots. Although Melawy Linux is a Russian project, the distribution defaults to an English-language user interface. The latest version, provided in "Base" and "Developer" editions, is available in for download from SourceForge as split ISO images or as torrents (pkglist): Melawy-Linux-Base-System-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (7,443MB, torrent, SHA256, signature), Melawy-Linux-Developer-Edition-2025.07.04-x86_64.iso (11,707MB, torrent, SHA256, signature). |

Arne Exton has announced the availability of a new version of ExTiX, based on the recently-released deepin 25 and featuring the Deepin desktop: "I released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today. The previous ExTiX Deepin edition with deepin 23 stable is from 2024-08-16. This ExTiX Build is based on deepin 25 stable (the latest version) released by Deepin Technology on June 26, 2025. ExTiX 25.7 uses Linux kernel 6.15.3. ExTiX 25.7 works in the same way as all other ExTiX editions, i.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live; use the Refracta installer for that. You can also create your own live installable deepin 25 system with Refracta Snapshot. New functions: VirtualBox Guest Additions are not pre-installed; you can run ExTiX from RAM; you can only use the Refracta installer for hard drive installations; I have installed Firefox as a replacement for deepin's browser; I've added the Synaptic package manager; you can watch Netflix while running Firefox."

The deepin distribution team has announced version 25 of its operating system. The deepin distribution includes the new Deepin Desktop Environment 7.0, an immutable filesystem, and an AI assistant which responds to voice commands. "We deeply understand the importance of system stability for users. To this end, deepin 25 proudly introduces 'Solid' (deepin Immutable System), redefining the benchmark for stability in Linux operating systems. Read-Only Protection, Preventing Core Tampering: By forcibly mounting core directories like /usr/bin as read-only, the system fundamentally blocks accidental user actions or malware from modifying the system core, ensuring long-term stable operation. For developers needing deep customization, we also provide a convenient command to toggle protection on/off instantly. Second-Level Snapshots: Upgrade Without Worry: Before every system update, the system automatically creates a backup snapshot. Even if something unexpected happens during the update, the system can automatically roll back to the last known good state upon reboot, eliminating 'update-bricking' anxiety." Details on these features and more can be found in the project's release announcement. Download: deepin-desktop-community-25-amd64.iso (6,028MB, SHA256, torrent, pkglist). |
