Andrew David Wong has announced the release of Qubes OS 4.1.0, a major new update from the project that focuses on Linux operating system security by isolating computing tasks into separate “qubes”. This version brings a variety of improvements, bug fixes and component updates: “At long last, the Qubes 4.1.0 stable release has arrived. The culmination of years of development, this release brings a host of new features, major improvements and numerous bug fixes. The GUI domain is a qube separate from dom0 that handles all display-related tasks and some system management. This separation allows us to more securely isolate dom0 while granting the user more flexibility with respect to graphical interfaces. Qrexec is is an RPC (remote procedure call) mechanism that allows one qube to do something inside another qube. The qrexec policy system enforces ‘who can do what and where.’ Qubes 4.1 brings a new qrexec policy format, significant performance improvements, support for socket services and policy notifications that make it easier to detect problems.” Read the rest of the release announcement for a complete list of new features.

It is available for 64-bit systems only. “Zenwalk 15.0 ‘Skywalker’ milestone is ready. Following the release of the so-long-awaited Slackware 15.0, here we go for the Zenwalk 15.0 ‘Skywalker’, aka ‘It must be very stable after all this time’ milestone. As usual for a milestone release, most packages have been rebuilt down here or upstream. The desktop is the latest Xfce 4.16, with the special Zenwalk layout - this unusual NEXT/WindowMaker inspired dock system, with unique panel placement for ergonomic user access to the whole desktop area. This one-of-a-kind desktop is optimized for modern wide screens. What you get is a pure Slackware system with the following main changes: optimized for Xfce; Flatpak and AppImage ready (any existing app can be installed); simplified setup; focused on desktop usage; optimized for size and RAM footprint.” Here is the full release announcement.

The new version of the world’s oldest surviving Linux distribution comes with a number of new features, such as PAM, ConsoleKit2 and PipeWire. Also, unlike most other distributions, Slackware continues to support the x86 architecture. "We are very happy to announce the availability of the new Slackware 15.0 stable release. There have been way too many changes to even begin to cover them here, but for our dedicated user base suffice to say that you’ll find things modern but also familiar. We’ve gone with the 5.15.19 Linux kernel (part of the 5.15.x kernel series that will be getting long-term support from the kernel developers). You’ll also enjoy a refreshed desktop experience including the KDE Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition with support for Wayland sessions. We adopted PAM (finally) as projects we needed dropped support for pure shadow passwords. We switched from ConsoleKit2 to elogind, making it much easier to support software that targets that Other Init System …
