CachyOS August 2024 Release

This is our 9th release this year, featuring improvements in hardware detection and infrastructure enhancements.

Starting with this release, the hardware detection will automatically use the open NVIDIA modules. Users can revert to closed-source modules by running sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos-nvidia.

We’ve also included the latest NVIDIA Beta driver (560) after extensive testing. This driver appears to be in a stable state following its second beta release.

The Cosmic Desktop Environment is now available for installation. We’ll follow the upstream release (Alpha 1) for packaging. Packages based on the latest commit are available, though these won’t be used for installation. Existing users can install Cosmic on their current setup with the command: sudo pacman -S cosmic-session. This installs the base packages for running Cosmic. Additional packages like cosmic-text-editor, cosmic-terminal, and cosmic-store are also available.

deepin 23

The deepin distribution is based on Debian and features the custom-made Deepin Desktop Environment (Deepin DE). The project's latest release is version 23 which introduces atomic updates and support for a wider range of CPU architectures. The new CPU support includes install media and packages for ARM and RISC-V processors. "The system repository packages have been comprehensively upgraded to enhance stability and security, and better support new hardware and architectures such as ARM64, RISC-V, and LoongArch64. Established a new V23 repository for the upgrade of over 8,000 core packages. Introduced a new installation and upgrade mechanism to reduce disk space occupation during whole disk installation. Provided a flexible upgrade backup mechanism to ensure user rollback capability in case of upgrade anomalies, and offered users the ability to manage multiple versions. Optimized system backup solutions to reduce disk space usage compared to the previous A/B partition scheme. Added the "Atomic Update" capability, allowing users to flexibly roll back or switch system versions based on backup restore points."

IPFire 2.29 Core 187

IPFire is a Linux-based operating system for firewalls. The project focuses on easy set-up and configuration. The project's latest release introduces an extra layer of protection against denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. "Since IPFire is very commonly deployed in data centres where denial-of-service attacks happen on a regular basis, we now have added better protection against those kinds of attacks. Formerly, the system protected itself rather well against (D)DoS attacks, but this was only limited if TCP connections terminated at the firewall itself like for reverse proxies, etc. Now, IPFire can use TCP SYN cookies to protect infrastructure behind it better against SYN flood attacks. This is especially useful in high-bandwidth scenarios and cloud deployments and can be activated with only one checkbox separately for each firewall rule."
