posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 17, 2022
Good day!
We are glad to present to you an update of the distribution ALT
KWorkstation 10.1.
The assembly is prepared for the x86_64 architecture. The operating
system is included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs and
Databases. The distribution appeals to a wide circle of users to work in
the office and at home. This solution can be part of the Active
Directory infrastructure, available: domain authentication, access to
file resources and print resources.

New features 10.1
* Support for installing the system by the Ventoy added.
* Webkiosk mode added: it is possible to install the system for limited
use where only a web browser is available to the user.
* LiveCD added to the install image for opportunity to check the
operability of the bootloader before installation.
* The distribution includes the systemd-oomd free memory monitoring
service. It is a component that improves system behavior related to lack
of memory. At the same time, for the convenience of tracking oomd
actions a user notification is implemented when applications are aborted
by the oomd service.
* BTRFS subvolume support during installation. It is a modern copy on
write (CoW) filesystem for Linux aimed at implementing advanced features
while also focusing on fault tolerance and easy administration. The
security benefit of using BTRFS is the creation of a restore point
before updating the system.
* Automatic disk partitioning profile for Timeshift added. This program
is designed to create snapshots of system files and settings. In the
event of a system failure system files are restored, and user data
remains up to date, if it was not damaged.
* Discover App Center can launch System Restore when upgrade failure is
detected.
