The upcoming release will feature support through to 2029 and offers a number of improvements to the behind-the-scenes package management utilities. The new beta also introduces easy access to power modes to help the user balance energy savings against performance. "Choosing a power mode allows you to balance between power saving and performance optimization. The following power modes are available on all computers: Power-saver mode - limits performance to conserve energy; Balanced mode - adjusts performance based on your needs; on supported systems, an additional Performance mode is available, this mode maximizes performance at the cost of increased power consumption; power-saving modes reduce performance but can extend battery life, reduce heat generation, lower CPU frequency and decrease fan noise; note that the system may override user settings based on the selected mode to adjust display brightness or make temporary adjustments to further reduce power consumption or enhance performance."

NEW • Distribution Release: Window Maker Live 12.8 |
Rate this project

Window Maker Live is a Debian-based Linux distribution that applies the Window Maker window manager as the default graphical user interface. The project has released version 12.8 which is based on Debian 12 "Bookworm". "A selection of TeX Live packages for a decent TeX system, and auxiliary tools like AUCTeX for Emacs and the vim-latexsuite were also included. All of Bookworm's outdated GNUstep packages were replaced with current versions recompiled from their still up to date Debian/Trixie sources. The included GNUstep programs are more tightly integrated in the desktop. Only seeing is believing: The GNUstep packages were augmented by a few GUI themes demonstrating GNUstep's theming capabilities. The current Emacs release 29.4 has been added with its GNUstep based GUI. This emacs-gnustep variant is provided as a self-contained component and does not rely on nor conflict with the official Debian emacs packages. The bare bones Surf browser has been replaced with otter-browser since the former's AppArmor based security sandboxing proved too restrictive for casual usage. Also, the GNUstep based netsurf port WebSurf.app was added." The release announcement offers additional details.

Barry Kauler has announced the release of EasyOS 6.5. The EasyOS distribution features custom container technology called Easy Containers which can run applications or the entire desktop environment in a container. The project also includes tools for installing AppImage and Flatpak packages. Users can also set up containers to run other distributions: "The Scarthgap-series is built with packages compiled in a fork of OpenEmbedded, and optimised for EasyOS, but a small package repository; only about 1800 packages. However, more packages can be installed via Appi, the AppImage manager, and Flapi, the Flatpak manager. There is yet another avenue for adding packages to Scarthgap; another Linux distribution can be run in a container and within that container there is access to the entire package repository of that distribution. Easy Scarthgap can run Easy Daedalus in a container, which means that you don't really need to run Easy Daedalus as a separate distribution." Additional information can be found in the release announcement and in the release notes. Download: easy-6.5-amd64.img (953MB, MD5, pkglist). |
