Distribution Release: NuTyX 26.02.2 |
|
The NuTyX distribution has published a new version, 26.02.2, which switches the default init software from SysV to systemd. "Spiky and me are happy to announce the new version of NuTyX 26.02.2 and cards 3.4.3. SysV is at the end of its life, only one initialization system - systemd; switching from SysV to systemd without reinstalling is not a good idea; NuTyX SysV maintained until the end of 2026; three ISO image graphics - Xfce, GNOME and KDE; one basic non-graphic ISO image for professionals. After nearly 19 years, NuTyX slowly abandoned the SysV init system developed more than 40 years ago (1983). This means concretely that only the following packages will continue to receive updates until December 2026: the Linux kernels, note that Linux kernels 5.10, 5.15, 6.6 and 6.12 also come to the end of their lives in December 2026; Firefox and Thunderbird; Discord and Telegram; Xfce 4.20; security updates. Now, the distribution focuses on a single init system - systemd. The two main desktops, GNOME and KDE, will soon no longer be operational under SysV." The project's release announcement recommends performing a fresh install of NuTyX to handle the migration from SysV to systemd. Download (SHA1, pkglist): NuTyX_x86_64-systemd-26.02.2-XFCE4.iso (1,823MB), NuTyX_x86_64-systemd-26.02.2-GNOME.iso (2,119MB), NuTyX_x86_64-systemd-26.02.2-BASE.iso (1,112MB). |

"Spiky and me are happy to announce the new version of NuTyX 25.02.5 and cards 3.1.0. What's new? Two separated init systems. From now on, init system are separated. One set of ISO image is available in each init system. Cards 3.0 - a year of development will have been necessary. No new runtime dependencies for cards. Packages are now signed with the ED25519 EdDSA algorithm. Hash is now via SHA512 instead of MD5. The archive name of a package is now easier to read. The /etc/cards.conf configuration file has been simplified. New commands (cards functions) are introduced: cards repo for metadata verification/generation; cards dependent for displaying a package's reverse dependencies; cards key for generating the key pair for signing packages."
