EndeavourOS 2024.06.25

EndeavourOS is a rolling release Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. The project aims to be a spiritual successor to Antergos. The Endeavour project is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a new release which carries the code name "Endeavour". Along with package updates, including Plasma 6.1, this snapshot updates Endeavour's ARM images, and includes a few fixes: "To mark our fifth anniversary and coming full circle, we gave this release the one-off code name 'Endeavour'. This release carries the usual upstream changes as with our other releases: Calamares 24.06.1.2, Firefox 127.0.1, Linux kernel 6.9.6, Mesa 24.1.2, X.Org Server 21.1.13, NVIDIA 550.90.07, Plasma 6.1 for both the live environment as the offline install option. Installation doesn't crash anymore when the EOS apps are deselected in Calamares. Fixed language selection for Italian users for vconsole. The r8168 legacy driver package is removed from our default installation options due to removal from the Arch repo. Most legacy Realtek hardware will run with the Realtek drivers provided by the Linux kernel. In some cases, a workaround is needed described in this thread post."

Tails 6.4

The Amnesic Incognito Live System (Tails) is a Debian-based live DVD/USB with the goal of providing complete Internet anonymity for the user. The distribution's latest version, Tails 6.4, introduces a random seed to help strength cryptographic functions: "Tails now stores a random seed on the USB stick to strengthen all cryptography. Having a secure random number generator is critical to some of the cryptography used in Tails, for example, in the Persistent Storage, Tor, or HTTPS. This random seed is stored outside of the Persistent Storage so that all users can benefit from stronger cryptography. Changes and updates: switch to using HTTPS addresses instead of an onion addresses for the Debian and Tails APT repositories, this makes the Additional Software feature more reliable; update Tor Browser to 13.0.16; update the Tor client to 0.4.8.12; update Thunderbird to 115.12.0. Fixed problems: fix more issues when unlocking the persistent storage; fix connecting to a mobile broadband network on some hardware; enable again the PDF reader of Thunderbird that we disabled in Tails 6.3 for security reasons; improve the error message of Tails Cloner when the target USB stick cannot be unmounted because it is being used...."

openSUSE 15.6 leap

The openSUSE project has published a new update to the distribution's Leap branch. openSUSE 15.6 Leap will be supported through to the end of 2025 and features a number of enhancements to remote administration tools and container management utilities: "The inclusion of the Cockpit package in openSUSE Leap 15.6 represents a significant enhancement in system and container management capabilities for users. This integration into Leap 15.6 improves usability and access as well as providing a link between advanced system administration and user-friendly operations from the web browser. The addition underscores openSUSE’s commitment to providing powerful tools that cater to both professionals and hobbyists. Leap does not come with a SELinux policy, so SELinux capabilities for Cockpit are not functioning. Container technologies receive a boost with Podman 4.8, which includes tailored support for Nextcloud through quadlets, alongside the latest releases of Distrobox, Docker, python-podman, Skopeo, containerd, libcontainers-common, ensuring a robust container management system. Virtualization technologies are also enhanced, featuring updates to Xen 4.18, KVM 8.2.2, libvirt 10.0, and virt-manager 4.1."

NixOS 24.05

NixOS is an independently developed GNU/Linux distribution that aims to improve the state of the art in system configuration management using the Nix package manager. The project has published NixOS 24.05 which includes updates to GNOME (version 46), Plasma (version 6), and the Linux kernel (version 6.6). "In addition to numerous new and upgraded packages, this release has the following highlights: The default kernel package has been updated from 6.1 to 6.6. All supported kernels remain available. For each supporting version of the Linux kernel, firmware blobs are compressed with zstd. For firmware blobs this means an increase of 4.4% in size, however a significantly higher decompression speed. NixOS now installs a stub ELF loader that prints an informative error message when users attempt to run binaries not made for NixOS."
