Parted Magic 2026_03_20

This is the most significant release of Parted Magic since the introduction of the original Secure Erase GUI in 2013. The new Secure Erase GUI addresses the full range of compliance gaps and feature requests we’ve received over the years. An all-new Mount GUI and integrated File Manager are directly tied to the Mounter, delivering exceptional stability in live environments - outperforming lightweight alternatives like Thunar that rely on trash directories and udisks. The File Manager was written entirely from scratch and shares no code with existing file managers. The previous save session was unwieldy, blindly copying the entire /home and /etc directories to the flash drive. The new smart detection system saves only the files that have actually changed - including installed packages and objects in /usr. If you delete a file and perform a save, that file will be transparently removed on the next boot. The system also excludes unnecessary paths like /var, /tmp, and other transient system files. A new smart shutdown menu prevents accidental shutdowns and reboots with an optional countdown timer. Official announcement Download Parted Magic
