-> Major KDE Desktop optimizations... Besides includeng Plasma 5.27.3, we have done a lot of under-the-hood refinements and tweaking to the Plasma Desktop and rice, making behave much better and more fluently. It's now more responsive with less processes running in the background. -> AUR Helper : XeroLinux uses Yay as the AUR helper... If you prefer Paru then install it from our repos vis install paru-bin and use it, but no Aliases exist for it.. -> Pacseek TUI Package Manager : We have included Pacseek the TUI Package Manager in case you are a terminal ninja.. It's very intuitive and easy to use.
We are pleased to announce the stable release of Qubes 4.1.2. This release aims to consolidate all the security patches, bug fixes, and upstream template OS upgrades that have occurred since the initial Qubes 4.1.0 release. Our goal is to provide a secure and convenient way for users to install (or reinstall) the latest stable Qubes release with an up-to-date ISO. If you are already using any version of Qubes 4.1 (including 4.1.0, 4.1.1, 4.1.2-rc1, and 4.1.2-rc2), then you should simply update normally (which includes upgrading any EOL templates you might have) in order to make your system effectively equivalent to this stable Qubes 4.1.2 release. No reinstallation or other special action is required. Qubes 4.1.2 includes numerous updates over the initial 4.1.0 release, in particular: all 4.1 dom0 updates to date; Fedora 37 template; USB keyboard support in the installer; kernel-latest available as a boot option when starting the installer.
We have published another bugfix release for siduction today. The images should already have arrived on most mirror servers. The point release fixes some small bugs that have been reported to us in the past few days.
Snal 1.26 was released March 15, 2023. It is available for download.
There are times where apt may not work for you, such as if there is not yet a Debian package or what is in our network repository is outdated. Look, we get it. You may need the latest version of a Python library and thus pulling from Pip gives you what you are after. However, there are then repercussions of files getting added / updated / removed which either package manager is not aware of. Things may not break straight away, but they might. An example could be when either package manager has an update of the module, or you try and install a module using the other ecosystem. Enter venv (Virtual environment). This creates an area which is completely independent.

After less than a month, after Cassini Neo was released, we present you with Cassini Nova which ships with minor but necessary bug fixes and also with the usual refreshed main package versions for both the live environment as well as the offline installation option. These fixes are for the ISO and its installation process, users with running systems don’t have to search for the “Nova update”, they just have to perform their usual updates, since EndeavourOS is a rolling release.
We are pleased to offer siduction 2022.1.1 as a bug-fix release. It is based on an excerpt of Debian 'Sid' from March 8, 2023. siduction 2022.1 had some problems with the newly introduced snapshot feature when using Btrfs as filesystem, which were difficult to solve, but are now fixed. In addition, siduction 2022.1.1 reflects the changed sources list due to Debian's new policy on handling non-free firmware. Furthermore, besides many package updates, Linux 6.2.2 and KDE Plasma 5.27.2 are shipped. With that out of the way, let's cut to the chase. 'Masters of War' has quite a few new features to offer that we hope you will find exiting enough to try out. But before that, let's get to the basics first. 'Masters of War' uses Linux 6.2.2 as kernel and offers images with KDE Plasma as our main offering, along with LXQt, Xfce, X.Org and noX.
