Omarchy 4 aka 'Quattro' is the biggest release since the project started. The entire desktop shell has been reimagined in Quickshell - the bar, launcher, menus, notifications, on-screen displays, control panels, lock screen, and polkit agent now all live inside a single long-running shell process with a plugin architecture. That means Waybar, Walker, Mako, SwayOSD, hyprlock, hypridle, swaybg and polkit-gnome are all gone, replaced by one coherent, fully-themed, IPC-scriptable shell. Headline features: reimagine the entire desktop shell in Quickshell; move Omarchy internals from git to system packages for safely separating user modifications; offer dual-boot installation when free space is available; setup a machine for a new owner during install, so OEMs and gift givers can prepare a machine for others; allow for factory reset from new Quattro installs for safe resale/gifting of your machine; shrink the ISO image by over a gigabyte (now under 6GB); speed up installation by +30%; convert all Hyprland configurations to lua for full 0.56 compatibility....
After more than two months without a release, PrismLinux Reborn 1.0 is finally here. This release represents a major round of redesign, migration, optimization and ecosystem cleanup across the distribution. The installer has been comprehensively redesigned and polished as part of its migration away from web technologies to a native implementation. New and improved installer features include: keyboard language selection during installation; optional Chaotic-AUR support; boot manager selection between GRUB, systemd-boot and rEFInd; GRUB as the default boot manager; firmware-aware choices — systems without systemd-boot or rEFInd support, including legacy BIOS installations, will only offer GRUB; Flatpak enabled by default for every supported desktop environment. Driver handling has been optimized. The installer now detects the system and installs the drivers and related packages appropriate for that hardware.
Welcome to the open beta of the next generation of TUXEDO OS. TUXEDO OS is moving to a new foundation - Debian 'Testing'. With this open beta, we are opening up the development process and inviting you to try the new system, use it in real-world scenarios and help us shape the final release. This is not just about finding crashes or obvious bugs. We want to know how the system feels. If something surprises you, confuses you, slows you down or simply does not behave the way you expected: please tell us. Future versions of TUXEDO OS will use Debian 'Testing' as their permanent base. We call this approach 'Continuous Debian'. It allows us to keep the hybrid release model of TUXEDO OS while working on a more flexible and continuously updated foundation. For everyday use, much of TUXEDO OS will remain familiar. The system continues to use Debian's package management ecosystem and KDE Plasma as its desktop environment.
Galactic Mandate Linux v07 is the latest release, featuring a signed APT suite, migration and desktop package updates, and a direct AMD64 installer ISO. Users can upgrade existing installations with sudo gm-upgrade v07 or install v07 directly, with support for legacy BIOS, UEFI, and Safe Graphics. The release also delivers a complete suite of themed NF applications, consistent desktop context menus, updated system behavior, and a unified installer shortcut across the live desktop and application menu.
Manjaro 26.1 'Bian-May' released. Since we released 'Anh-Linh' in January 2026 we worked hard to get the next release of Manjaro out there. We call it 'Bian-May'. The GNOME edition has received several updates to the GNOME 50 series. This includes a lot of fixes and polish when GNOME 50 originally was released in March 2026. GNOME's parental controls have made a massive leap forward in GNOME 50. For the first time it is now possible for parents and guardians to monitor screen time and set limits for child accounts, including bedtime schedules. The new features allow automatically locking the screen when a screen limit or bedtime is reached. Parents and guardians also have the ability to extend screen time past the limit when needed. We also ship Big Parental Controls 1.0 from our sister-project Big Linux from Brazil, to comply with recent laws there.
