The SpiralLinux project is pleased to announce the 11.220628 release with a few fixes and improvements. Many thanks to all the users that reported issues and suggested improvements!

Changes to all editions

  • Linux 5.18 kernel from Debian Backports
  • Removed custom sysctl options that were preventing the system from responding to pings and disabling IPv6
  • Included modified version of regenerate_ssh_host_keys.service from the RPi-Distro project to make SSH work out of the box
  • Make PulseAudio speaker test audio work (users with previous installations can install the missing libcanberra-pulse package)
  • Removed discard from default /etc/fstab (systemd fstrim.timer timer is enough)

Changes to Plasma edition

  • Fixed missing Bluetooth manager (users with existing installations can install the bluedevil package)
  • Disabled automatic session suspend-to-RAM when inactive on battery power
  • Switched "Show desktop" control to "Minimize all"
  • Included onboard virtual keyboard
  • Included KDE Partition Manager

Mate

  • Fixed missing image thumbnails (users with existing installations can install the libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin package)

About SpiralLinux

SpiralLinux is a selection of Linux spins built from Debian GNU/Linux, with a focus on simplicity and out-of-the-box usability across all the major desktop environments. SpiralLinux serves as an alternative live installation method for a highly reliable customized Debian system using only official Debian package repositories. Please visit the official SpiralLinux website to learn more about its unique features and reasons for existence.

What will happen to GeckoLinux?

GeckoLinux will continue to be maintained. However, SUSE and openSUSE have announced some major changes that will eventually affect the Leap branch a few years from now, so SpiralLinux would fill the void in the event that openSUSE Leap ceases to exist or turns into a completely different sort of product.
