Gaming Linux France has announced the availability of a beta release of GLF OS Omnislash, a NixOS-based Linux distribution designed primarily for gamers: "The development of the new version of GLF OS is complete and the result exceeds all our expectations.

The UBports team has released an update to the project's mobile operating system, 20.04 OTA-9. The new update focuses on three main improvements: "Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 contains only minimal changes due to our current focus on Ubuntu base OS upgrade. Still there are interesting changes: VoLTE support is updated so that it works out-of-box with more carriers (Thanksb to Nikita (@Notkit) from Volla), Please note that we've tested VoLTE on a few Volla devices only. Other ports may have VoLTE support enabled; such support is experimental and may not always function correctly. Waydroid has been updated to version 1.5.1, containing initial support for upcoming official Android 13 images, among other fixes (Thanks to Jami (@deathmist) from Volla). Font for emoji is switched from Emoji One to Noto Color Emoji, with improved support for some of newer emojis. (Thanks to Alfred (@fredldotme))." A complete list of changes along with upgrade instructions can be found in the project's release announcement.

The Murena organization has announced a new release of their mobile operating system, /e/OS, along with a series of new features. "/e/OS's Advanced Privacy feature now offers users a comprehensive overview of how their data is handled.

We unveil an ultra powerful tool to protect users' data on our Murena Workspace at murena.io: a user-friendly and end-to-end encrypted Online Vault, powered by the CryptPad technology, now in beta. This feature allows users to store sensitive files with end-to-end encryption—including for real-time editing and collaboration. This new test service helps explore how ultra-strong encryption can be integrated into the Murena ecosystem with minimal impact on user experience. With Find My Device via SMS in /e/OS 3.0, users can locate their device even when they're far from it—no internet connection required. This simple yet effective feature uses standard text messages (SMS) to help users geolocate their device, securely and with ease."

Adrian Arjoca has announced the release of AxOS 25.06, the latest version of the project's Arch-based desktop Linux distribution featuring a custom package manager called Epsilon. This release uses the Hyprland-based Sleex (developed in-house) as the default desktop environment: "This new 25.06 release comes with new features: Sleex is now the default desktop environment - sleek, smooth and crafted for AxOS; new installation kits, no more useless bloat; choose your vibe - Artist, Developer, Hacker; new SDDM theme; new AxOS packages come out of the box. Caution: AxOS (especially Sleex) is not virtual machine-friendly. Do you want to try it in a virtual machine anyway? Enable 3D acceleration or set up GPU passthrough; even then, expect some graphical hiccups and performance mood swings. Important: I need feedbacks, I can't improve AxOS without it."

PorteuX 2.1 introduces the brand-new 6.15 Linux kernel and delivers various bug fixes: "PorteuX 2.1. Nothing beats a new release where the system works better and is even smaller.

VirtualBox 7.1.8 (latest stable) is not compatible with kernel 6.15. So this release includes a module for VirtualBox 7.2.0 Beta 1. Wayland sessions in VirtualBox are supported but it's recommended to enable 3D Accelaration in Settings, Display.

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. Download (SHA256, torrent, pkglist): AlmaLinux-10.0-x86_64_v2-dvd.iso (6,987MB), AlmaLinux-10.0-x86_64_v2-minimal.iso (1,341MB), AlmaLinux-10.0-x86_64_v2-boot.iso (824MB). |
