Three years is a long time for free and open source software! Enough time for 12,525 new packages and 29,932 package updates to the Guix repository. Here are the best highlights: To start, KDE Plasma 6.5 is now available with the new plasma-desktop-service-type. Screenshot of KDE Plasma with a welcome window and the About This System tab of system settings open. The Guix and KDE logos are visible, as well as Konqi. Continuing on desktops, GNOME has been updated from version 42 to 46 and now uses Wayland by default. The gnome-desktop-service-type was made more modular to better customize the default set of GNOME applications. Guix System is now using version 1.0 of the GNU Shepherd, which now supports timed services, kexec reboot and has new services for system logs and log rotation which are now used by Guix System instead of Rottlog and syslogd. There are around 40 new system services to choose from, including Forgejo Runner, RabbitMQ, iwd and dhcpcd to name a few.
