To mark our fifth anniversary and coming full circle, we gave this release the one-off code name 'Endeavour'. This release carries the usual upstream changes as with our other releases: Calamares 24.06.1.2, Firefox 127.0.1, Linux kernel 6.9.6, Mesa 24.1.2, X.Org Server 21.1.13, NVIDIA 550.90.07, Plasma 6.1 for both the live environment as the offline install option. Installation doesn't crash anymore when the EOS apps are deselected in Calamares. Fixed language selection for Italian users for vconsole. The r8168 legacy driver package is removed from our default installation options due to removal from the Arch repo. Most legacy Realtek hardware will run with the Realtek drivers provided by the Linux kernel. In some cases, a workaround is needed described in this thread post.

SDesk now uses the "linux-zen" kernel by default - bringing scheduler improvements, multiple optimizations, and more kernel modules that are shipped by default. I've also removed the "Blur my Shell" extension because - while it looks great - I found that it made SDesk a gigantic resource hog by default. I have made some SShell UI adjustments, too. A new version of the Swirl browser has been released with improved toolbar shortcuts (e.g: The magnifying glass now finds text) and countless bug fixes. You'll also notice that Swirl now supports localization. The calamares installer and octopi packages have also been updated to their latest versions.
