Nitrux 2.8 Released with Linux 6.2, Zswap, Support for Android Apps, and More
Powered by the Linux 6.2 kernel series from Liquorix with zswap enabled by default, Nitrux 2.8 ships with the latest KDE Plasma 5.27.4 LTS desktop environments, which is accompanied by the KDE Frameworks 5.105 and KDE Gear 23.04 software suites. In other words, you’re getting the best Plasma desktop experience to date!
A major change in Nitrux 2.8 is the inclusion of WayDroid by default, a container-based approach to boot a complete Android system on a regular GNU/Linux system. This means that you will now be able to install and use Android apps on your Nitrux-powered computer.

Nitrux 2.8.0 Brings a Host of System Improvements and Android Support
Nitrux is a desktop-focused Linux distribution based on the Debian unstable branch, featuring a heavily modified KDE Plasma desktop environment called NX Desktop, the MauiKit application framework, and a unique approach to package management.
That means there will be no conventional package manager here. Instead, all the apps you need can be installed as Flatpak packages, AppImages, or inside Distrobox containers.

Forget Windows 12, Nitrux is your next OS
Microsoft is slowly beginning to kill off Windows 10, stopping major feature updates for the operating system and hoping to persuade more users to move to Windows 11. While that’s the obvious upgrade path, some users will want to hang on for Windows 12, which is reported to be under development at the moment.
