When documents are created on other platforms, they often use the default fonts from Microsoft Office/365 or Windows. However, these fonts are under a proprietary license, so they can't be pre-installed in Zorin OS for all users. Because of this, documents may display with incompatible fonts instead. This can cause documents to not only look different than intended but also to shift their layout and corrupt their formatting. Because of how prevalent these proprietary fonts are in documents, this issue became a significant barrier to those hoping to switch to Zorin OS for their work environment. Zorin OS 16.2 comes with an updated font selection to help solve this problem. We've introduced Open Source metric-compatible alternatives to some of the most popular fonts. They appear similar to their proprietary counterparts and have the same character dimensions, so documents display with the correct formatting.
I introduce you to Voyager 22.10 in its final version. A two in one version with, for the first time, the GNOME and Xfce desktops unified in a single distribution. Voyager, Everything has been redesigned for this new duo edition. The GNOME 43 desktop coupled with the Xfce 4.16 desktop and a part of version Xfce 4.17, still in development. With the promise finally realized, to have two unified systems - GNOME and Xfce - light, fast, modern, fluid, secure and efficient in a hybrid environment for PC and Tablet. The two desktops are quite distinct and their respective applications are for the most part seamless, for one or the other environment. This release is based on Linux kernel 5.19 and Ubuntu distribution 'Kinetic Kudu' with its novelties.
Update Tor Browser to 11.5.5 and the Linux kernel to 5.10.149. This should improve the support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on. Now when a manual upgrade is required, Tails now always points to the release notes of the latest version, instead of pointing sometimes to a deprecated version.
This is a minor (point) release in the 4MLinux STABLE channel, which comes with the Linux kernel 5.18.19.

You can update your 4MLinux by executing the "zk update" command in your terminal (fully automatic process).
ArcoLinux v22.11
The Ubuntu Studio team is pleased to announce the release of Ubuntu Studio 22.10, code-named 'Kinetic Kudu'. This marks Ubuntu Studio's 32nd release. This release is a regular release and as such, it is supported for 9 months (until July 2023)." One of additions to this release is a new "feature uninstaller": "A new addition to the Ubuntu Studio Installer package is the Ubuntu Studio Feature Uninstaller which performs the reverse of the Ubuntu Studio Installer: removes groups of packages from the Ubuntu Studio installation as long as they aren't required by another group of packages. For example, if you have ubuntustudio-photography installed and ubuntustudio-graphics installed but wish to uninstall ubuntustudio-photography, you will still have gimp installed since it's part of the ubuntustudio-graphics metapackage. This method of uninstallation is safe and effective at making your digital studio yours.
