Canonical Plans for a Fully Functional Desktop Session on RISC-V with Ubuntu 25.10

Last month, Canonical announced a significant change for RISC-V users that will drop support for most of the existing RISC-V hardware, as the company plans to raise the required RISC-V ISA profile family from RVA20 to RVA23. This means that about 90 percent of RISC-V devices won’t be able to run Ubuntu 25.10.

Quoting: Goodbye Windows 11, hello Linux: Discover how ExTiX Deepin 24.8 can free your computer from Microsoft —

ExTiX Deepin 24.8 has been launched (download here) as the latest version of the Linux distribution, now based on the newly stable Deepin 23. Released just a day after the official launch of Deepin 23 STABLE, ExTiX 24.8 offers an enhanced user experience powered by the Linux Kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton.

This release is particularly appealing for users looking for a Deepin-based system but prefer to steer clear of software directly from Chinese companies due to privacy or trust concerns.

Deepin 23-based ExTiX 24.8 live Linux launches with Synaptic Package Manager and Google Chrome in tow

Released earlier this week, Deepin 23 is a Linux distro with a predominantly Chinese userbase. Developed in Wuhan, China, Deepin comes with its own web browser, namely Deepin Browser. However, Deepin 23 only includes this app in Chinese, even when choosing English as the primary language. ExTiX 24.8 comes to address this matter while offering its users both the chance to run a live Linux environment that's based on Deepin 23 or install it on a hard drive.

ExTiX 24.8 arrived yesterday, and while using Deepin 23 as a foundation, it employs the 6.10.3-amd64-exton kernel, which is a special piece of code equivalent to Kernel.org's 6.10.3 stable kernel. Conceived as a live Linux distro, ExTiX is highly customizable, so those interested can create their own live, installable Deepin 23-based environment with the help of Refracta Snapshot. When booting it up as a live system, ExTiX 24.8 can be installed on the hard drive using Refracta Installer or Deepin Installer.

deepin 23 Release Note

Dear deepin users, and those who are going to join the deepin family in the future: after 3 years of preparation, 9 iterations, and 51 internal tests, deepin 23 has finally been released today, 15 August 2024, and we have set a lot of ambitious goals for deepin 23 since 2022, and we have already made significant breakthroughs and achievements in many areas, with many regrets!

Since 2022, we've set a lot of ambitious goals for deepin 23, and we've already made significant breakthroughs and achievements in a number of areas, as well as a lot of regrets. We have a lot to say at this stage of our journey: ‘Words after the Release of deepin 23 / Liu Wenhuan, deepin community founder’.

For ExTiX:

ExTiX Deepin 24.8 Live based on Deepin 23 STABLE (latest) with Refracta Snapshot and kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton :: Build 240816

I’ve released a new version of ExTiX Deepin today (240816). The previous ExTiX Deepin version with Deepin 23 RC is from 240607. This ExTiX Build is based on Deepin 23 STABLE (latest version) released by Deepin Technology on August 15, 2024. Please read the Release Notes. ExTiX 24.8 uses kernel 6.10.3-amd64-exton. ExTiX 24.8 works in the same way as all other ExTiX versions. I.e. you can install it to hard drive while running the system live. Use Refracta Installer or Deepin Installer for that. You can also create your own live installable Deepin 23 system with Refracta Snapshot. (Using ExTiX 24.8 as a “base system/template”). So easy that a ten year old child can do it!
