We've put a lot of time into Taidan, our out-of-the-box experience, in Ultramarine 42. It's really matured into a polished and useful tool. We hope to land some more features in Ultramarine 44 this year, so stay tuned to that. Windows Subsystem for Linux users now have hardware acceleration. This means you can run apps inside Ultramarine inside Windows using the GPU from your real device. Hope you have fun with this one. Due to maintenance burden and conflicts, collaboration between Terra and Repology has ended starting in Terra 42. Specifically, Repology requires all Terra sources to be fully accessible via a predictable URL format.
AnduinOS has always been built on Ubuntu and one of our core commitments is to keep pace with Ubuntu's release cycle. Whenever a new version of Ubuntu is released, we synchronously roll out a new version of AnduinOS. Now, just over a month after the release of Ubuntu 25.10 'Questing', this version brings a massive number of user experience improvements, such as the complete removal of X11, the new Pytxis terminal, GNOME 49, Linux 6.17, and sudo-rs, among others. These exciting changes significantly enhance the user experience and now, they have fully landed in AnduinOS. Therefore, we are extremely proud to announce the official release of AnduinOS 1.4. This version is built on the latest compilation of Ubuntu 25.10 and is designed to catch up with the latest upstream changes.

Multitasking just got a whole lot better. Zorin OS 18 introduces a powerful new default window tiling manager that helps you work more efficiently, while being simple to use. Simply drag a window to the top of the screen, and a pop-up will appear where you can drop it on one of the predefined layouts to arrange your windows. It’s that easy, no need to memorise complex keyboard shortcuts. Create your own tiling layouts. Customise tiling behaviour from Zorin Appearance -> Windows -> Advanced Window Tiling. Enable optional auto tiling and smart window suggestions. Use powerful key bindings and set custom keyboard shortcuts. This feature makes advanced window tiling intuitive for both newcomers and power users, boosting productivity for everyone.

The team is proud to announce the release of LMDE 7 'Gigi'. LMDE is a Linux Mint project which stands for 'Linux Mint Debian Edition'. Its goal is to ensure Linux Mint would be able to continue to deliver the same user experience, and how much work would be involved, if Ubuntu was ever to disappear. LMDE is also one of our development targets, to guarantee the software we develop is compatible outside of Ubuntu. LMDE aims to be as similar as possible to Linux Mint, but without using Ubuntu. The package base is provided by Debian instead. Important info: the release notes provide important information about known issues, as well as explanations, workarounds and solutions. Linux Mint 7 comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop experience more comfortable.
