Qubes OS 4.2.0

Qubes OS is a security-focused operating system which isolates system components and applications to minimialize the damage which can be done do to a security breech in any one aspect of the platform. The project's latest release, Qubes OS 4.2.0, offers both Debian and Fedora templates and shifts the default desktop from GNOME to Xfce. "Dom0 upgraded to Fedora 37. Xen upgraded to version 4.17. Default Debian template upgraded to Debian 12. Default Fedora and Debian templates use Xfce instead of GNOME. SELinux support in Fedora templates. Several GUI applications rewritten, including: Applications Menu (also available as preview in R4.1); Qubes Global Settings; create New Qube Qubes Update; Unified grub.cfg location for both UEFI and legacy boot; PipeWire support; fwupd integration for firmware updates; optional automatic clipboard clearing; Official packages built using Qubes Builder v2; Split GPG management in Qubes Global Settings; Qrexec services use new qrexec policy format by default (but old format is still supported)."

Manjaro Linux 23.1.0

The Manjaro Linux team has published a new snapshot of the project's rolling-release distribution. The new 23.1.0 release offers up to date desktop environments with the main editions offering GNOME 45, KDE Plasma 5.27, and Xfce 4.18. "One of the most noticeable changes in GNOME 45 is the new activities button. Located in the corner of the top bar, this button was previously labelled “Activities”. In GNOME 45, this static label has been replaced with a dynamic workspace indicator. The new button design is a response to user testing results over recent years, and we are confident that its purpose will be more obvious to new GNOME users. As part of this change, the old app menu (which showed the name of the currently focused app), was also retired. This retirement was another response to user testing results, and was required to make space for the new design. Search performance has been a major area of work for GNOME 45. These performance improvements have been made to a range of apps, including Software, Characters, Clocks, Files, and Calculator. Together, these changes result in faster search and reduced resource usage, which can be seen in both individual apps and in system search."

Univention Corporate Server 5.0-6

Univention Corporate Server (UCS) is an enterprise-class distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux. The project's latest release focuses on bug fixes and tightening security. "In the last three months we have released 47 security updates, most of them from the Debian base distribution. However, we have also fixed security-relevant errors in the Univention packages, e.g. password leaks via the process list. We have also further stabilized the Univention Management Console (UMC) when connecting to the individual UMC modules. We have improved the way the Univention Directory Manager (UDM) handles inconsistent user capitalization. Some data is now updated atomically by the portal, which avoids certain error patterns, and the self service now translates the forms correctly in all cases."
