This includes a lot of fixes and polish when Gnome 48 3 originally was released in March 2025. The Plasma edition comes with the latest Plasma 6.3 series 1, Frameworks 6.12 and KDE Gear 24.12 1. It brings exciting new improvements to your desktop. With our Xfce edition, we have now Xfce 4.20. Linux kernel 6.12 is used for this release, including the latest drivers available to date.

Tails 6.14.1

"We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from possible security vulnerabilities in Tor Browser. Until now, Tor Browser could only save downloads to and read files from a limited number of folders. With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your Home folder or Persistent Storage from Tor Browser. This new integration also solves other usability and accessibility issues: The Large Text accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. The Cursor Size accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. The minimize and maximize buttons are available again in the title bar. These improvements rely on 2 security technologies: the flexibility of the new XDG Desktop Portals of Flatpak allowed us to relax the AppArmor confinement, improving usability without compromising on security."
