Rate this project (1.6)
| Arne Exton has announced the release of an updated build in the "ExLight" branch of Exton Linux. Based on Debian 13, it features the Enlightenment 0.27.1 window manager: "I've made a new version of ExLight with the Enlightenment 0.27.1 desktop environment, Refracta Snapshot (to create your own Debian 'Trixie' system) and Calamares 3.3.14 installer framework. ExLight build 260322 uses Linux kernel 6.19.8 built from Debian kernel sources with Debian patches. What's new in ExLight build 260322? ExLight is now based on Debian 13.4 'Trixie'; I have upgraded the Enlightenment desktop environment ('Beauty at your fingertips') to version 0.27.1, which is the stable version of Enlightenment; I have replaced kernel 6.14 with kernel 6.19.8; ExLight's ISO file is now a ISO-hybrid image, which means that it can very easily be transferred to a USB pen drive, you can then even run ExLight from the USB stick and save all your system changes on the stick, i.e. you will enjoy persistence; another big improvement is that ExLight can run from RAM - use boot alternative 2 (load to RAM) and when the system has booted up you can remove the disc or the USB stick...."

| The Parted Magic project has published a new version, 2026_03_20, which introduces new tools. "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. Additional information is provided on the project's news page. Purchase options of Parted Magic 2026_03_20 (pkglist) are presented on the distribution's download page. | | | 2026-03-18 | NEW • Distribution Release: Asahi Linux 43 |

| Bryan Poerwo has announced the release of EndeavourOS 2026.03.06, code-name "Titan". EndeavourOS is an Arch-based Linux distribution with a customised KDE Plasma desktop and Calamares system installer. This new major release updates the Linux kernel to version 6.19.6 and makes improvements to the installer. "Earlier this month, the Linux kernel 6.19 was released, and that was a good excuse to refresh our ISO. And as you can read from the title, the changes for this one were big enough to turn it into a major release with a name that really covers this ISO. Named after the second-largest moon in our solar system, Titan. So, we borrowed Saturn’s largest moon to orbit around our purple Linux space for now. ... For this release, we cleaned up and streamlined the installation process and added some new big features alongside: improved mirror ranking support, including providing an optimised mirror list when the installer is offline; added hardware detection for all GPUs and VMs; we are now installing additional drivers for all GPUs, including Vulkan drivers and the needed packages for hardware-accelerated video decoding when applicable; GPU drivers are now being loaded early by default; this release also introduces a new tool, eos-hwtool."
