Nala as a new frontend for Debian’s package manager frontend apt. It works as a drop-in replacement, meaning that you can use the commands you are used to from apt also with nala. Apt gets the job done, but it is neither fast nor is it very user-friendly, when it comes to how it outputs its information. Nala in comparison seems like apt on steroids. It is faster by using parallel downloads, has better output, that is presented in a user-friendly way. It also has a history function that was borrowed from Fedoras package manager frontend dnf. You can try out nala right now and if you don’t like it, return to apt any time. You can also use both, alternating between them.
Pardus 21.4 is a minor version release. To observe the changes made, it is sufficent to keep your Pardus 21 system up-to-date.
Fixed UEFI issue of not booting on specific systems and on latest VirtualBox. Updated base to Debian 11.6 adding corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Optimised the 'toram' boot option mechanism - to boot Zephix totally in memory, it now requires 1.5GB RAM (core, firmware and desktop modules) or 512MB RAM (core module only). Updated module creation and manipulation scripts making it much easier to create new modules without having to reboot the ISO after creating a single module and also reducing the size of each module accordingly (refer to the Customise section for more details). Updated desktop and firmware modules. Optimised boot sequence code for a cleaner and smoother boot process.
Since we released 'Ruah' in June, all our developer teams worked hard to get the next release of Manjaro out there. We call it 'Sikaris'. The GNOME edition has received a major update to GNOME 43. It comes with a redesigned system status menu, which allows quickly changing commonly used settings. Settings which previously required digging into menus can now be changed with the click of button. The new design also makes it easy to see the status of your settings at a glance. Our in-house Layouts Switcher application has gained some new features as well as various improvements and fixes - now you can create your own dynamic wallpaper. With Gradience you can customize your theme simple from within the application.
After more than a year of development, the new major release of Mabox Linux 22.12 'Istredd' is ready for download. In addition to numerous improvements, Istredd brings us two exciting and original features - Colorizer and context menus for Conky. Colorizer, a tool created especially for Mabox, allows you to easily and quickly adjust the colors of your desktop. Colorizer can even do this automatically based on the color palette of the currently set wallpaper. The advanced mode allows for more fine-tuning. The second functionality that is available for the first time in Mabox Istredd are context menus for Conky. The right-click context menu allows you to manage individual Conky properties, like the position on the screen, individual colors or the color scheme. The left-click context menu is for quick access to user-defined commands.
The new Gemini 4.11 series follows the most recent Debian Bullseye 11.6 updates, updated Debian stable kernel and important security and bug fixes. It adds some more languages support, for example Japanese, directly within the installation media. Lookswitcher Plasma themes have got their own repository, so they could have been removed from the core system. Anyway, Lookswitcher remains part of the Q4OS software center as well as Plasma themes included.
