KaOS 2025.01 Released with Plasma 6.2 and KDE Applications 24.12

Two months after its previous 2024.11 release, KaOS, a rolling KDE-centric Linux distro betting on the XFS file system, released its latest stable, 2025.01 ISO, delivering many updates to its core system, including upgraded versions of tools like SQLite 3.48, Rsync 3.4.1, and Systemd 253.30.

Under the hood, you’ll find Linux kernel 6.12.11 and Mesa 24.3.4. Additionally, updates to OpenSSL 3.4 and FFmpeg 7.1 bolster the system’s security and multimedia capabilities.

Another noteworthy change is the experimental introduction of bcachefs, a next-generation filesystem designed for speed and reliability. While still in its early stages, KaOS users can explore bcachefs via manual installation, with the required tools readily available in the repositories.
