EndeavourOS Titan Nova Is Out with Linux Kernel 7.1 and KDE Plasma 6.7.4
Coming four months after EndeavourOS Titan Neo, the EndeavourOS Titan Nova release is the second minor update to the EndeavourOS Titan series, which arrived on March 12th, 2026, with the Linux 6.19 kernel series and KDE Plasma 6.6 desktop environment. EndeavourOS Titan Neo is here with KDE Plasma 6.7.4 and Linux kernel 7.1.8.
The default KDE Plasma 6.7.4 installation on the live system is accompanied by the KDE Frameworks 6.28 and KDE Gear 26.04 software suites, both of which introduce numerous improvements to your favorite KDE apps, as well as many under-the-hood changes for a better Plasma desktop experience.

It’s been a while since we released Titan Neo back in March. And to be honest, we thought we would have our next major release, Triton, out by now. But as with most things in life, the road to the next step isn’t easy. In fact, Triton’s journey is obstructed by meteors and asteroids, so to speak. So, we need some more time to finish the work on Triton. The next release will be running Wayland in the Live environment, due to upcoming changes with the Plasma desktop environment. And as you can imagine, this is a major challenge for our development team. That is why we decided to give Titan an update boost to act as a bridge to the Triton release.
So, don’t expect big changes. This release includes the necessary hardware support upgrades and a few bug fixes.
