Immutable Distro Nitrux 3.1 Brings Revamped Upgrade Utility, Latest KDE Software
Nitrux 3.1 is here mostly as an updated installation media for those who want to install the distribution on a new computer or for existing users who want to reinstall it. As such, it only includes updated components like the latest KDE Plasma 5.27.9 desktop environment, accompanied by KDE Frameworks 5.111 and KDE Gear 23.08.2.
Since this is a new install media, it obviously brings updated drivers, such as those for Amlogic Bluetooth chipsets, Intel Wireless Wi-Fi Link adapters, USB-DUX boards, and various Qualcomm devices, the latest NVIDIA 545.29.02 and AMDVLK 2023.Q4.1 graphics drivers, Mesa 23.2.1 graphics stack, and the latest AMD microcode update for AMD processors.

Forget Windows 12, Nitrux 3.1.0 Linux distribution should be your next OS
Today marks the unveiling of Nitrux 3.1.0, codenamed “fx,” a release that shows Linux is the future of personal computing -- not Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 12. With the primary focus on updated packages, this release bids to bring a refreshing user experience. The immediate availability of Nitrux 3.1.0 is indeed a call for enthusiasts to delve into the updated software packages, bug fixes, and performance enhancements.
The codename "fx" for this release, though seemingly not referring to anything in particular, adds a cool touch to the versioning. The Nitrux team remains modest in their claims, emphasizing that despite the advancements, Nitrux 3.1.0 doesn’t brand itself as impervious to security threats, hence welcoming suggestions on GitHub to fortify the distribution further.
