The previous ExTiX Deepin edition with deepin 23 stable is from 2024-08-16. This ExTiX Build is based on deepin 25 stable (the latest version) released by Deepin Technology on June 26, 2025. ExTiX 25.7 uses Linux kernel 6.15.3. ExTiX 25.7 works in the same way as all other ExTiX editions, i.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live; use the Refracta installer for that. You can also create your own live installable deepin 25 system with Refracta Snapshot. New functions: VirtualBox Guest Additions are not pre-installed; you can run ExTiX from RAM; you can only use the Refracta installer for hard drive installations; I have installed Firefox as a replacement for deepin's browser; I've added the Synaptic package manager; you can watch Netflix while running Firefox. https://os.watch/extix/25.7 Wed, 02 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss I am proud to announce that Linux Kamarada 15.6 is ready for everyone to use.

Linux Kamarada is a Linux distribution based on openSUSE Leap and is intended for use on desktops at home and at work, in both private companies and government entities. It features the essential software selection for any Linux installation and a nice-looking modern desktop. The most notable update was to the GNOME desktop, which on Linux Kamarada 15.4 and 15.5 was at version 41, and is now at 45. The GNOME desktop has a new quick settings menu. Its new design makes it easy to quickly see the status (whether WiFi is on or off, whether Bluetooth is on or off) as well as change commonly-used settings (connect to a WiFi network, pair a Bluetooth device). Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with the click of button. https://os.watch/kamarada/15.6 Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss The new version, labelled as 2025.07.04, comes with updated packages as well as various important changes.

Most notably, the distribution now uses the XanMod kernel, a general-purpose Linux kernel with custom settings and third-party patches. Previously, Melawy Linux used a kernel built by CachyOS for improved performance and responsiveness, but the CachyOS kernel does not work on some laptops. Also, the XanMod kernel offers support for Waydroid, a container-based method that enables Android to run in a containerized environment on Linux systems. The new release also comes with unspecified bug fixes. https://os.watch/melawy/2025.07.04 Fri, 04 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss Today we are releasing MocaccinoOS 1.8.3.

Changes sin Today we are releasing MocaccinoOS 1.8.3. This is mostly an upgraded version that doesn't introduce too many new features. Everything is compiled against a very recent Gentoo Portage tree. Changes since 1.8.2: Linux kernel is upgraded to 6.12.35 (LTS); Mesa version 25.1.4; Qt updated to 6.9.1; NVIDIA drivers version 570.153.02 (available in repository); KDE Plasma 6.3.5; GNOME 47.3. Issues and improvements: we are aware that MOS images are not fully EFI complaint, certain (mostly older) systems are not booting properly with EFISTUB used in our images. At the moment we do not have a proper solution and the workaround is to change your BIOS settings to boot in legacy mode. Notes for testers: additional software can be installed through Flatpak, docker or the community repository. Please give us feedback by reporting bugs or sharing your ideas with us. https://os.watch/mocaccinoos/1.8.3 Sat, 05 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss 2025.3 images ship with RPK2, our rewrite of Rhino PKG in Nushell, by default.

Pacstall has had a few major bumps in between Rhino Linux 2025.2 and 2025.3. As we have mentioned before, with Pacstall being integral to Rhino Linux, as well as sharing developers between the projects, we feel it's important to share information about these releases as well. https://os.watch/rhino/2025.3 Sun, 06 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss We are proud to announce Parrot Security 6.4, the latest release of our security oriented operating system, this new version comes packed with most of the enhancements that our vibrant community asked We are proud to announce Parrot Security 6.4, the latest release of our security oriented operating system, this new version comes packed with most of the enhancements that our vibrant community asked for, and it features the amazing work of many new contributors. Many tools, like Metasploit, Sliver, Caido and Empire received important updates, the Linux kernel was updated to a more recent version, and the latest LTS version of Firefox was provided with all our privacy oriented patches. Parrot 6.4 will most likely be the last release of the 6.x branch. All the Debian compatible tools provided by Microsoft are now available for installation via APT from the official Parrot repository, so we officially support Powershell 7.5, .NET runtime and SDKs from version 5 to version 9 and many more! parrot-menu got new desktop entries (like Sliver, Rocket) and several other launchers got updated. https://os.watch/parrot/6.4 Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000 https://os.watch/releases.rss I have made a new extra version of DebEX KDE Plasma live system, efi.

DebEX KDE Pl I have made a new extra version of DebEX KDE Plasma live system, efi. It's a pure Debian Sid/Trixie (upcoming Debian 13) system. There are no Ubuntu or Kubuntu elements involved in DebEX. DebEX KDE Plasma Sid uses the KDE Plasma Desktop 6.3.5, the latest version, released 2025-05-06, as the desktop environment. Linux kernel 6.15.3 is used. All included packages have been updated to the latest version as of 2025-07-07. VirtualBox Guest Additions and VMware Tools are pre-installed, which means that you can run DebEX KDE in full screen. I've installed the full KDE Plasma desktop using the command 'sudo apt install task-kde-desktop'. In order to save space I have removed LibreOffice. I have added Calamares 3.3.14 installer framework. Now you can choose language when the installation starts. You can even use Calamares in VirtualBox and VMware on non-efi computers without problems. You can also use the Refracta installer. https://os.watch/exton/250707 Mon, 07 Jul 2025 00:00:00 +0000
