Nitrux 5.0 is the first release to drop the KDE Plasma desktop environment and ship with Hyprland by default, a dynamic tiling Wayland compositor, using greetd as a minimal Wayland login manager, Waybar as a highly customizable Wayland bar, Wlogout as a logout menu, and Crystal Dock as a dock, and Wofi as an application launcher.
Coming more than four months after qBittorrent 5.1.2, a small update that only added fallback to the update mechanism and fixed a couple of bugs related to the WebUI, RSS, search, and Web API features, qBittorrent 5.1.3 fixes crashes related to the getrandom() function on specific Linux setups.
Firefox 146 promises to enable the Firefox Labs feature for all users, regardless of whether or not they choose to participate in studies or submit telemetry, and an updated address bar that shows English-language suggestions for holidays and other important dates for users in France, Germany, and Italy.
KDE Plasma 6.4.6 fixes an issue that prevented the Breeze GTK style from being activated by default in Plasma, fixes some issues with printer ink levels in the printer widget, and fixes a recent regression that made some map apps not appear as options on the Default Applications page in System Settings.
Coming almost a month after GStreamer 1.26.7, the GStreamer 1.26.8 release improves HDR video playback for GNOME’s Showtime video player to no longer show washed-out colours when subtitles are active, and adds Rust support for 32-bit (x86) Linux to the Cerbero package builder.
The biggest change in the Firefox 145 release is that it drops support for 32-bit systems on Linux. This means that Mozilla will no longer build and offer 32-bit builds of Firefox starting with version 145, recommending users to install a 64-bit version of Firefox for continued updates and support.
