Garuda Linux is a rolling, desktop distribution based on the Arch Linux operating system. The project's latest release, Garuda Linux 240428, ships with a number of upgrades, the most immediately apparent being the new Plasma 6 desktop: "The main focus of this release is certainly the already mentioned Plasma 6 upgrade which already arrived in the Dr460nized edition. Meanwhile, Sway and Hyprland received some major improvements to their respective editions as well. Also, FireDragon was rebased to Floorp, meaning we now profit from its interesting feature set. Lastly, our build system for the garuda repository received major updates, and the pilot phase for Chaotic-AUR infra 4.0 is supposed to start soon. As KDE 6 was released in February, the Dr460nized edition underwent some minor changes to how we create our desktop layout. Multiple plasmoids needed to be ported to KDE 6, which also caused some of them to be replaced with updated forks (eg. the original Latte dock window - title, appmenu, buttons - are no longer maintained and were ported or forked by other people)."

Ubuntu-Server 24.04

"Our 10th Long Term Supported release sets a new standard in performance engineering, enterprise security and developer experience. Ubuntu Desktop brings the Subiquity installer to an LTS for the first time. In addition to a refreshed user experience and a minimal install by default, the installer now includes experimental support for ZFS and TPM-based full disk encryption and the ability to import auto-install configurations."

OpenBSD 7.5 - amd64/install75.iso

"We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 7.5. This is our 56th release. We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of more than twenty years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 7.5 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system: added bt(5) and btrace(8) support for binary modulo operator; added a TIMEOUT_MPSAFE flag to timeout(9); added IBM encoded version of the "Spleen 8x16" font, usable as console font; cleanup and machine-independent refactoring of three context switch paths outside of mi_switch(): when a process forks and the new proc needs to be scheduled by proc_trampoline, cpu_hatch: when booting APs, and sched_exit: when a proc exits; made vscsi(4) 'vscsi_filtops' mpsafe and extended the 'sc_state_mtx' mutex(9) to protect 'sc_klist' knotes list; made out-of-swap checking more robust, preventing potential deadlocks...."

The portable NetBSD operating system has reached a new milestone with the release of NetBSD 10.0. The new version introduces a number of performance and security improvements: "Benchmarks of NetBSD 10 show huge performance and scalability gains over NetBSD 9.x, especially on multiprocessor and multicore systems, for compute and filesystem-bound applications. Areas of improvement included: switched the kernel's file path lookup cache to use faster per-directory red-black trees; improved scheduler performance, including the ability to more appropriately spread load on a mixture of slow and fast cores (e.g. big.LITTLE Arm CPUs); various optimizations for the machine-independent virtual memory system; improved tracking of clean/dirty pages, speeding up fsync(2) on large files by orders of magnitude; improved parallelization - rewritten page allocator with awareness of CPU topology, replaced global counters with per-CPU counters, and reduced lock contention; improved the performance of the select(2) and poll(2) system calls; improved the performance of tmpfs; implemented lazy update of atime/mtime; various optimizations of architecture-dependent x86 and AArch64 code, vastly improved network and I/O throughput on aarch64...."

RELIANOID 7.2

RELIANOID is a Debian-based Linux distribution for load balancing. The distribution offers a load balancing oriented operating system for testing, development, and quality assurance environments. The project has published an update which improves on the distribution and scheduling of network traffic. "RELIANOID 7.2.0 comes with several key improvements to elevate your user experience. The system now operates on the solid foundation of Debian 12.5, ensuring a secure and up-to-date environment. The cluster service is now included by default, simplifying the setup for those deploying clustered environments. Additionally, we've invested in enhancing the developer documentation's syntax, making it more accessible and user-friendly. The HTTP farms parser has been fortified to improve robustness, and good practices have been applied across the core codebase to achieve Critic Level 4 compliance, ensuring the highest standards of code quality. This release addresses some bug fixes to fortify the reliability and stability of RELIANOID. Cluster replication issues have been resolved, ensuring a seamless and consistent cluster environment."
