This is the first preview of GoboLinux 017. This alpha snapshot is being released primarily so that the new boot process and the installer can be tested ahead of time -- this means that the ISO still features several outdated packages that were carried over from 016.01 (Firefox included). Those will be reviewed/refreshed over the coming weeks.

Some of the changes that GoboLinux 017-alpha brings over 016.01 include:

  • Incorporation of an Initramfs for improved hardware compatibility
  • Deprecation of Python 2. All GoboLinux tools featured in this ISO have been ported to Python 3
  • Removal of Libtool ".la" files for better source-based package management
  • Support for the Meson build system on Compile
  • Update toolchain to Glibc 2.30, GCC 9.2.0, BinUtils 2.33.1, and the kernel to version 5.4.15
