Development Release: TUXEDO OS 20260813 |
|
TUXEDO Computers, a German-based manufacturer of Linux desktop and laptop computers, has announced the release of the initial public beta build of its Debian-based TUXEDO OS. While the past releases of the distribution were based on Ubuntu, the project has recently decided to switch to Debian's "Testing" branch for all future releases: "Welcome to the open beta of the next generation of TUXEDO OS. TUXEDO OS is moving to a new foundation - Debian 'Testing'. With this open beta, we are opening up the development process and inviting you to try the new system, use it in real-world scenarios and help us shape the final release. This is not just about finding crashes or obvious bugs. We want to know how the system feels. If something surprises you, confuses you, slows you down or simply does not behave the way you expected: please tell us. Future versions of TUXEDO OS will use Debian 'Testing' as their permanent base. We call this approach 'Continuous Debian'. It allows us to keep the hybrid release model of TUXEDO OS while working on a more flexible and continuously updated foundation. For everyday use, much of TUXEDO OS will remain familiar. The system continues to use Debian's package management ecosystem and KDE Plasma as its desktop environment." Read the rest of the release announcement for further information. Interested testers cand download this beta build from here: TUXEDO-OS-DEBIAN-202608131141.iso (4,759MB, SHA256, signature, pkglist).

Distribution Release: TUXEDO OS 3-20240429 |
|
TUXEDO OS is an Ubuntu-based distribution featuring the KDE Plasma desktop which is developed in Germany by TUXEDO Computers GmbH. The organization's latest release includes an update to the new Plasma 6 desktop environment. "The most important technical change with Plasma 6 is the default setting of Wayland as the display server instead of the previous X11 display server. We have already described the differences between X11 and Wayland in an article in our knowledge base. The new display protocol promises, among other things, less tearing and artifacts as well as better configurability for multi-monitor environments. In the best case scenario, you will not notice the change or even perceive it as positive. However, there are cases where you should stick with X11 for the time being. This applies in particular to owners of older NVIDIA cards that require drivers older than v495.44. We make it easy for you to test which session type is the most suitable for you at the moment. To provide you with a quick and easy way to switch between X11 and Wayland, we have included an easy selection option." Additional details can be found in the distribution's release announcement.
