Nitrux 3.6.0 ("ie") Available for Dow... » Linux Magazine

Nitrux 3.6.0 is here and for those Linux users who prefer their distributions without systemd, you're in for a treat.

First and foremost, Nitrux "ie" (for "Improved Efficiency) ships with the beta version of the NVIDIA 560 (version 560.28.03) and is the first of its kind from NVIDIA, because it automatically defaults to the open-source GPU kernel modules. Along with that comes the latest firmware files for AMDGPU (as of commit 65c5d9b1 from linux-firmware). Graphics get another boost, thanks to the latest MESA 3D Graphics Library (version 24.1.3).

The kernel version shipping with 3.6.0 is 6.9.12-1 (which is a Liquorix kernel for low latency).

Other updates include Firefox 128.0.3, Nitrux Update Tool System 2.1.5, AppArmor 4.01, and Plasma Desktop 5.27.11 LTS.
