What's New in EndeavourOS Titan Release? - EndeavourOS

Earlier this month, the Linux kernel 6.19 was released, and that was a good excuse to refresh our ISO.

Named after the second-largest moon in our solar system, Titan. So, we borrowed Saturn’s largest moon to orbit around our purple Linux space for now. This theme is also reflected in the new wallpaper that was created by our very creative and trusty community member, Unclespellbinder.

But before I go into the Titan release, I just want to address the recent development concerning age verification for all operating systems in California for 2027.
