Pop!_OS 24.04, a major new version of System76's desktop Linux distribution, has been released. Based on Ubuntu's latest long-term support version, Pop!_OS 24.04 is the project's first stable version that ships the COSMIC desktop environment, developed in-house: "If you're ambitious enough, or maybe just crazy enough, there eventually comes a time when you realize you've reached the limits of current potential, and must create something completely new if you're to go further. This year, System76 turned twenty. For twenty years we have shipped Linux computers. For seven years we've built the Pop!_OS Linux distribution. Three years ago it became clear we had reached the limit of our current potential and had to create something new. Today, we break through that limit with the release of Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC Desktop Environment. Today is special not only in that it's the culmination of over three years of work, but even more so in that System76 has built a complete desktop environment for the open source community." Read the release announcement for more information. Pop!_OS 24.04 is available for x86_64 and AArch64 processors; download (SHA256, pkglist): pop-os_24.04_amd64_generic_22.iso (2,935MB), pop-os_24.04_amd64_nvidia_22.iso (3,433MB), pop-os_24.04_arm64_generic_3.iso (2,755MB), pop-os_24.04_arm64_nvidia_3.iso (3,064MB). |

The Parrot team has announced the availability of a new development snapshot. Parrot 7.0 beta swaps out the MATE desktop for using KDE Plasma by default, while the base distribution has been updated to Debian 13, and several custom applications have received some updates: "This new version introduces numerous changes, enhancements, and increased stability for your work and daily tasks. A major effort has been made on the infrastructure, the build scripts for ISOs and virtual machines, with several automations that will make life easier for us developers but, above all, for users, thanks to the possibility of having images produced on a weekly basis. Some core components of the system have been upgraded, such as parrot-core, parrot-interface, calamares-settings-parrot, parrot-themes, parrot-menu and more have received important improvements. For example, the configurations of parrot-core have been changed to provide better support for multiple Desktop Environments, and some parrot-menu scripts have been reviewed and rewritten (from Nim to Go)."

The Univention team has announced the release of Univention Corporate Server 5.2-4. The new version introduces unifies locked account statuses, drops support for PXE Server installs, and introduces some fixes for Keycloak: "As always, the new release contains numerous updates and smaller improvements. A selection: Synchronization of the 'locked' status of user accounts across Nubus, Active Directory and Samba 4 have been unified. This ensures that, for example, a lock set in Active Directory after too many failed login attempts also applies in Nubus. App Center has been improved in its handling of filtering proxy servers and will therefore support even more environments in the future. Several security updates for Keycloak were included, most recently a short-notice update to Keycloak 26.4.4 addressing an issue affecting accounts with uppercase characters in their names. Default values for the size of the OpenLDAP database have been adjusted and incorporated into the monitoring checks in Nagios and Prometheus as well as UMC. The OX Connector now supports a new operating mode that stores occurring issues in an error log for later review." An overview of the changes can be found in the release announcement.

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).

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). |
