It's remaining a lot of work to be done, but it seems to me that my project is moving in the right direction since I have resolved a lot of issues. Please consider that this version is a "BETA" version and may not be used as main system on a production computer as I released it just to show that my project is not a vaporware, so be patient, I will release a more polished version soon.
Oracle is pleased to announce the availability of the Oracle Linux 8 update 6 for the 64-bit Intel, 64-bit AMD (x86_64) and 64-bit Arm (aarch64) platforms. This release includes the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) Release 6 Update 3 on the installation image, along with the Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) for the x86_64 platform. Oracle Linux 8 Update 6 introduces support for drop-in configuration files to OpenSSH servers, Policy-Based Decryption (PBD) for automated unlocking of LUKS-encrypted drives and delivers many enhancements, including: modulesync - this command is used to ensure the presence of modular metadata and facilitate the module installation when modular metadata is not available; lsvpd updated to version 1.7.13; the net-snmp-cert gencert utility has been updated to generate certificates by using SHA512 encryption algorithm....
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 also introduces integrity measurement architecture (IMA) digital hashes and signatures. With integrity measurement architecture, users can verify the integrity of the operating system with digital signatures and hashes. This helps to detect rogue infrastructure modifications, making it easier to limit the potential for systems to be compromised. Further supporting enterprise choice in architectures and environments across the open hybrid cloud, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 will be available on IBM Cloud and also complements the key security features and capabilities of IBM Power Systems and IBM Z systems. Pairing the security-focused hardware capabilities of IBM’s architectures with the security enhancements in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 delivers the innovation, strength and security capabilities that many organizations need in hybrid cloud computing.

Like for every (almost) half-year, there is a new version bump for the GNOME desktop environment. Kali 2022.2 brings the new version, GNOME 42, which is a more polished experienced following the work previously introduced in versions 40 and 41. The shell theme now includes a more modern look, removing the arrows from the pop-up menus and using more rounded edges. In addition, we’ve upgraded and tweaked the dash-to-dock extension, making it integrate better with the new look and fixing some bugs.

The distribution's latest version is a development snapshot for the 10.0 release. Members of the ALT family can run on different hardware platforms. All of these versions are built on the same codebase for Platform 10. Today, users have at their disposal ALT KWorkstation operating system for x86_64 architecture. The product is based on the Linux kernel (std-def) 5.15, programming languages Perl 5.34, Python 3.9.6, GCC 10.3.1. The package versions of the p10 repository can be viewed at packages.altlinux.org.
The AlmaLinux 8.6 contains web console enhancements and some brand new System Roles that make system administration simpler. Security updates include upstream versions for the SCAP Security Guide, OpenSCAP and other packages among other improvements.
On May 11, 2022, we released version 8.6 of the EuroLinux operating system. It is compatible with the latest upstream release. With this release we focused on the support for modern software security technologies such as OpenSSL 3.0, verification of the versions of installed SELinux policies and updated hashing algorithms. New PHP and Perl versions have been added. The system was also enhanced by a secure version of log4j. Popular C/C++, Go and Rust compiler collections have been updated. The real-time Linux kernel test suite - rteval - has received the ability to specify a threshold value in microseconds. Options' names in Samba binaries have been standardized to provide a more consistent user interface. The changes will also satisfy the people who work with deep learning and deep neural networks - the OpenCV package in EuroLinux 8.6 now ships the dnn and text modules.
Fedora Linux 36 includes the latest release of Ansible. Ansible 5 splits the 'engine' into an ansible-core package and collections packages. This makes maintenance easier and allows you to download only the collections you need. See the Ansible 5 Porting Guide to learn how to update your playbooks. Beginning in Fedora Server 36, Cockpit provides a module for provisioning and ongoing administration of NFS and Samba shares. This allows administrators to manage network file shares through the Cockpit web interface used to configure other server attributes.
