Discreete Linux
Discreete Linux (formerly Ubuntu Privacy Remix or UPR) was a modified live DVD based on Debian. Its goal was to provide a completely isolated working environment where private data can be dealt with safely and to protect data against unsolicited access. Networking was intentionally disabled and the live CD was not installable to hard disk.

Distribution Release: AlmaLinux OS 10.0 |
|
The AlmaLinux OS team have announced version 10.0 of their distribution which aims to be compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux while also expanding support to a wider range of hardware. "For software developers, frame pointers are critical to diagnosing and optimizing their applications. For those developers that use AlmaLinux as their base, the lack of frame pointers by default is a pain point - one that we are happy to help ease. With AlmaLinux OS 10 we are enabling frame pointers by default. This allows system-wide real-time tracing and profiling for optimizing the performance of any workload running on AlmaLinux. Within the x86-64 architecture, there are versions that represent specific CPU feature sets. With RHEL 10, Red Hat will only support x86-64-v3 and higher, which leaves numerous completely functional CPUs without support in the Enterprise Linux ecosystem. AlmaLinux OS 10 has followed Red Hat’s decision to ship x86-64-v3 optimized binaries by default, but we will also provide an additional x86-64-v2 architecture, allowing users on that older hardware to continue to receive security updates for another 10 years." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement.
