Tails 6.14.1

"We improved the confinement technology that we use to protect your files from possible security vulnerabilities in Tor Browser. Until now, Tor Browser could only save downloads to and read files from a limited number of folders. With Tails 6.14.1, you can safely access any folder in your Home folder or Persistent Storage from Tor Browser. This new integration also solves other usability and accessibility issues: The Large Text accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. The Cursor Size accessibility feature works in Tor Browser. The minimize and maximize buttons are available again in the title bar. These improvements rely on 2 security technologies: the flexibility of the new XDG Desktop Portals of Flatpak allowed us to relax the AppArmor confinement, improving usability without compromising on security."

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...."

GoboLinux 017.01

After an absence of a new release since nearly five years ago, the GoboLinux project has sprung to life with a leadership change and a new bug-fix release labelled 017.01. GoboLinux is an independently-developed Linux distribution with and alternative filesystem hierarchy that departs from established UNIX standards and it uses Awesome as its default window manager. From the release notes: "We are pleased to present release 017.01 of GoboLinux, the Linux distribution featuring a rethought file system structure. GoboLinux was created out of a desire to try new approaches in the Linux distribution design space. GoboLinux 017.01 is an eagerly awaited bug-fix update that addresses several critical issues since our initial 017 release. Main changes: include UnionFS-Fuse to work around limitations with the sandbox in the live environment; loopback network interface needs to be brought up at boot; update the search URL used by the Scripts package; Ncurses had been replaced by NcursesW, but some packages' metadata still held references to the former; update expired SSL certificates; fix wrong versioning of SQLite...."

CachyOS 250330

CachyOS is a Linux distribution based on Arch Linux which focuses on speed and security optimisations. The project's latest snapshot introduces a new boot loader, re-adds NVIDIA firmware, and automates configuring Samba shares. "The first major change is that we have added a new Bootloader. Limine is a great bootloader, which can be used for BIOS and UEFI. Limine also supports some theming like GRUB. We have also added direct Btrfs snapshot support, like it works with 'grub-btrfs'. This has been greatly tested from our side and works well. The snapshots will be enabled out of the box for all installations which are using Btrfs as a filesystem. We have added a package, called 'cachyos-samba-settings', which configures and sets up Samba support. This has been requested by our users. After discussions with NVIDIA, we have re-enabled the GSP Firmware for the closed-source kernel module. The GSP Firmware had a bunch of improvements in recent releases, and most drawbacks seem to be solved now."
