Melawy Linux 2025.07.04

The new version, labelled as 2025.07.04, comes with updated packages as well as various important changes. Most notably, the distribution now uses the XanMod kernel, a general-purpose Linux kernel with custom settings and third-party patches. Previously, Melawy Linux used a kernel built by CachyOS for improved performance and responsiveness, but the CachyOS kernel does not work on some laptops. Also, the XanMod kernel offers support for Waydroid, a container-based method that enables Android to run in a containerized environment on Linux systems. The new release also comes with unspecified bug fixes. Visit the project's news page to read the brief release announcement (in Russian) and to see the screenshots. Although Melawy Linux is a Russian project, the distribution defaults to an English-language user interface.

Mauna Linux 24.7

The Mauna Linux project has announced the release of Mauna Linux 24.7, an updated build of the Brazilian project's set of Debian-based distributions with four popular desktop environments, plus a separate "Christian" edition. This new version comes with several updates and bug fixes, and is based on Debian 12.11. One of the most important updates of the release is the brand-new version 9.0 of OnlyOffice, a free multi-platform office suite with compatibility with Microsoft Office documents. OnlyOffice 9.0 comes with a redesigned user interface that is more intuitive and accessible. To take advantage of this, it is necessary to activate either the "Modern Light" or the "Modern Dark" theme. The suite also includes a PDF editor that received important updates and productivity improvements. Mauna's Xfce variant now comes with the 6.12.30 Linux kernel, while all the other editions continue to use the upstream kernel, version 6.1.140. The included desktop environment versions are Cinnamon 6.0.2, LXQt 1.2.0, MATE 1.26 and Xfce 4.18.

deepin 25

The deepin distribution team has announced version 25 of its operating system. The deepin distribution includes the new Deepin Desktop Environment 7.0, an immutable filesystem, and an AI assistant which responds to voice commands. "We deeply understand the importance of system stability for users. To this end, deepin 25 proudly introduces 'Solid' (deepin Immutable System), redefining the benchmark for stability in Linux operating systems. Read-Only Protection, Preventing Core Tampering: By forcibly mounting core directories like /usr/bin as read-only, the system fundamentally blocks accidental user actions or malware from modifying the system core, ensuring long-term stable operation. For developers needing deep customization, we also provide a convenient command to toggle protection on/off instantly. Second-Level Snapshots: Upgrade Without Worry: Before every system update, the system automatically creates a backup snapshot. Even if something unexpected happens during the update, the system can automatically roll back to the last known good state upon reboot, eliminating 'update-bricking' anxiety."

Kali Linux 2025.2 netinstall iso

The Kali Linux team has released a new snapshot of the project's penetration testing distribution. Kali Linux 2025.2 features GNOME 48 and KDE Plasma 6.3, but the biggest visible change is to the application menu: "We've completely reworked the Kali menu. It's now reorganized to follow the MITRE ATT&CK framework structure, which means that finding the right tool for your task should now be a lot more intuitive for red and blue teams alike. Previously the Kali menu structure followed what was in BackTrack, which followed WHAX before it. The previous structure was an in-house item, before MITRE was a thing. When our menu was first created, there wasn't as much design planning done, which we suffered for later. It meant that over time, scaling and adding new tools became difficult for us. The knock on effect was that this made it harder for you, the end users, to discover new tools as similar tools with overlapping functions were in different places or missing entries. Yes, seasoned professionals may not use the menu to start up items, using shortcuts such as super key and typing the tool name, or via a terminal window. We see the menu as a way to discover tools."
