PorteuX 2.2

The Slackware-based PorteuX project has published a new release, version 2.2, which introduces several changes to the kernel and includes a fix for Xfce not locking the desktop properly. "In Xfce current there is a potential critical issue when using an NVIDIA card with Mesa drivers 25.1.x and the Xfce compositor (xfwm4) with vsync set to glx (or auto, which usually means glx). Because of this, PorteuX now forces xfwm4's vsync to use xpresent by default. Since kernel 6.12, VirtualBox may not work because the kernel initializes virtualization on KVM module loading by default. To avoid this, PorteuX added kvm.enable_virt_at_load=0 to the APPEND line in boot/syslinux/porteux.cfg. You can revert this by editing the file, and to fix VirtualBox, you need to unload the KVM kernel modules manually with the following command: sudo modprobe -r kvm_amd kvm_intel kvm. The Kernel .config file has been significantly changed, removing support for obsolete hardware and enabling Squashfs multi-threading, which increased memory usage by 100 MB but improved performance. The kernel module is now much larger due to a recent NVIDIA firmware update."

PorteuX 2.1 Gnome

A new stable release of PorteuX, a Slackware-based Linux distribution that means to be fast, small, portable, modular and immutable, is now available. PorteuX 2.1 introduces the brand-new 6.15 Linux kernel and delivers various bug fixes: "PorteuX 2.1. Nothing beats a new release where the system works better and is even smaller. The default NTFS driver has been changed from ntfs-3g to ntfs3 (kernel native). After extensive development, the driver seems stable now. VirtualBox 7.1.8 (latest stable) is not compatible with kernel 6.15. So this release includes a module for VirtualBox 7.2.0 Beta 1. Wayland sessions in VirtualBox are supported but it's recommended to enable 3D Accelaration in Settings, Display. Changelog: fixed a bug where sometimes a module could be incorrectly detected as corrupted; fixed the Linux installer to be language-agnostic...."

PorteuX 2.0 Cinnamon

PorteuX, a Slackware-based Linux distribution whose main goal is to be super fast, small, portable, modular and immutable, has been updated to version 2.0: "This release introduces the ability to test Wayland sessions in the current/rolling editions of Cinnamon, LXQt and Xfce, in addition to being the default display server in GNOME and KDE since many releases ago. To test Wayland, log out and select the Wayland session from the first icon at the top right of the login screen. Keep in mind that the Wayland implementation in these desktop environments is still experimental. LXQt and Xfce, for instance, are using labwc compositor, which means Wayland won't work in VirtualBox. Changelog: fixed application icons not showing in Openbox session; improved 001-core stripping; improved Clang compatibility in the kernel build script; added CPU instruction detection to the Linux installer to warn users that PorteuX requires SSE4...."
