In the latest release, several important changes were introduced, including the inclusion and enabling of Wayland. However, users were cautioned to ensure their hardware supports Wayland before using it.

Users can apply the theme to Flatpaks through the provided tool. Additionally, there was a note regarding GTK themes, stating that they won't work for GTK4/LibAdwaita apps due to limitations set by the developers. The detailed changelog included optimizations to the KDE desktop, the removal of Intel Arc/iGPU drivers, and specific support details for Nvidia GPUs.

As of now, garuda-update should be able to handle any conflict that recently occurred mostly due to the already mentioned Arch package name changes. In case you missed it, please read the announcement to understand what is going on. Furthermore, it applies the Archlinux repo migration which happened since our last release, and fixes a few more update potential update blockers. For everyone still using 'pacman -Syu' without being able to work around issues like this manually, please ensure always using garuda-update as it was made exactly for this purpose :blush: A few editions have been dropped from our line-up. The reason behind this is quite simple - they are not getting necessary maintenance or are missing a maintainer. The logical choice is to no longer offer them to the public.
FuguIta 7.4 is now available, with a series of pre-release versions leading up to the official release. The pre-release versions, starting with FuguIta-7.4-i386-202310202 and FuguIta-7.4-amd64-202310215, introduced the initial test release and subsequent minor fixes.

Finally, FuguIta-7.4 reached Release Candidate status, with the official release containing patch-001 and 002 applied to all supported architectures (i386, amd64, and arm64). This release marks a significant milestone for FuguIta, with a thorough testing process ensuring a stable and reliable operating system.
I am pleased to announce the release of GhostBSD 23.10.1. This version might look odd from previous releases, but it is correct. After more thought into it, the base OS is not updated as much as the software packages. So, I decided to change the release version back to a static one instead of changing it on each software package update. Software packages will be updated as often as possible, like before, and if there are significant issues, changes or security issues before 24.01.1, a 23.10.2 release will be created. See the roadmap for future releases. In this release, the FreeBSD base system and kernel have been updated to 1302508, and it contains software updates, some improvements to Update Station, and new features to NetworkMgr. Also, os-generic-userland-devtools has been removed from the default installation to downsize the live system image.
