Rhino Linux 2025.3

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based distribution which offers a rolling-release upgrade approach. The project's latest snapshot introduces a rewritten package manager (RPK2) and a new KDE-based desktop environment which uses Plasma 6 packages. "2025.3 images ship with RPK2, our rewrite of Rhino PKG in Nushell, by default. We have already written a blog post detailing the changes that came in RPK2, which we recommend checking out if you haven't already. We also recommend all users review the updated Rhino PKG Wiki or rpk help message to learn about the new commands and shorthands. We have also announced the release of our UBXI KDE Desktop package this release cycle, based on Plasma 6. You can read the full announcement here. Additionally, we want to reiterate that we plan to release official UBXI KDE disk image spins by the end of the year, shipping alongside the standard Unicorn Desktop images, to allow for more desktop options out-of-the-box. Pacstall has had a few major bumps in between Rhino Linux 2025.2 and 2025.3. As we have mentioned before, with Pacstall being integral to Rhino Linux, as well as sharing developers between the projects, we feel it's important to share information about these releases as well."

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."
