deepin 25 Preview

The deepin project has introduced a new development snapshot, called "25 Preview", which offers immutable mount points and atomic updates: "Core system files of solid are mounted with read-only permissions. Software and drivers can be installed as system extensions. Supports disabling, updating, and managing system extensions. Atomic updates improve system update speed using incremental data. Automatic rollback to the last backup if updates fail or the system is unbootable. Supports worry-free restoration configuration, enabling instant system recovery after a reboot. Backup and restore snapshots provide ultra-fast backup speeds in seconds with minimal disk space usage (compatible with backup and restore tools). Deepin desktop environment has undergone comprehensive optimization, including QML restructuring of the Control Center and Notification Center. From visual design to interaction, core functions have been upgraded, delivering a more intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface. The desktop environment has also been redesigned to include thoughtful new features, significantly improving user experience. These optimizations lay a solid foundation for future desktop environment development, ensuring ongoing improvement and adaptation to user needs."

Rhino Linux 2025.1

The Rhino Linux distribution is based on Ubuntu and offers its users a rolling release. The project's latest snapshot is version 2025.1 and it offers a number of upgrades, including dynamic workspaces and a new welcome application. "One of our more exciting changes will be the inclusion of our brand-new Hello Rhino application. Written in Rust and using IcedTK, this application serves to help provide useful links to our homepage, blog, Discord community and documentation. Hello Rhino will automatically launch after post installation to help jumpstart the Rhino journey. Hello Rhino was created by a new contributor, so we would like to extend a big thank you to Sundaram Krishnan for making this possible. The Unicorn Desktop finally has dynamic workspaces, bringing extra efficiency and flexibility to the already powerful Unicorn Desktop. Previously, with static workspaces, you were restricted to a maximum of four, or had to manually create and manage the number of spaces yourself. Unicorn will now automatically create a new workspace each time the previous ones have an application open on them, and once there are no applications open on a workspace, it will be destroyed. The decision to incorporate this feature draws inspiration from desktop environments like GNOME, and the expandable workflow they provide."

Linux Mint 22.1

The Linux Mint team have published an update to the project's 22.x series. The new release, Linux Mint 22.1, modernizes the APT packaging tools, introduces new power modes to help uses find a balance between battery life and performance, and Cinnamon now provides a Night Light service which will reduce blue light exposure. "Choosing a power mode allows you to balance between power saving and performance optimization. The following power modes are available on all computers: Power-saver mode - limits performance to conserve energy; Balanced mode - adjusts performance based on your needs. On supported systems, an additional Performance mode is available. This mode maximizes performance at the cost of increased power consumption. Power-saving modes reduce performance but can extend battery life, reduce heat generation, lower CPU frequency, and decrease fan noise. Note that the system may override user settings based on the selected mode to adjust display brightness or make temporary adjustments to further reduce power consumption or enhance performance. In Cinnamon, you can select the power mode by navigating to Preferences, Power Management."
