We are proud to announce the launch of Helwan Linux 5.0, a version that marks a qualitative leap in our distribution philosophy and development. What's new in Helwan Linux 5.0? Integrated technical identity - we have further refined our collection of powerful system tools, ensuring a more seamless and stable integration for developers. Revolutionary update system - we officially announce the end of the 'reinstall' era. Thanks to the infrastructure of Helwan Linux 5.0, users will no longer need to wipe their system or perform a clean install when major new versions are released. Continuous evolution - the new release supports seamless upgrades; your current system will evolve into the latest version-complete with all new programs and innovative features without compromising your data or settings. Developer-centric experience - we have integrated productivity tools, such as Copy Path, Force Kill, and advanced process management directly into the Nemo file manager, to accelerate your development workflow.
Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0 is a feature update under the same Ubuntu 24.04 base as the previous release. Nonetheless, this release contains exciting updates and features. The most notable ones are: In Ubuntu Touch 24.04-2.0, Morph Browser receives a major upgrade in underlying browser engine from Chromium 87 to Chromium 134 which, while not the latest yet, improves compatibility with today's websites and web applications significantly. This upgrade lays the foundation for future Chromium upgrade; we hope to be able to deliver more browser engine upgrade in the subsequent 24.04-2.x minor updates. As a bonus, we've included an installer for Widevine, a DRM implementation used by many service providers. Users who are dependent on DRM-protected contents can now use Morph Browser to consume such content.
