Slackware-Based PorteuX 2.1 Is One of the First Distros to Ship with Linux 6.15

Coming two months after PorteuX 2.0, the PorteuX 2.1 release is powered by the latest and greatest Linux 6.15 kernel series and ships with NTFS3 as the default driver for handling NTFS filesystems instead of NTFS-3G. The devs warn that all symlinks stored on NTFS partitions will need to be regenerated.

CachyOS ISO Snapshot for May 2025 Improves Support for Older NVIDIA GPUs

Still powered by the Linux 6.14 kernel series, the CachyOS ISO snapshot for May 2025 features the latest KDE Plasma 6.3.5 desktop environment, which is accompanied by the latest KDE Gear 25.04.1 and KDE Frameworks 6.14 software suites, all built against the Qt 6.9 open-source application framework.

antiX-23.2 – init-diversity – 2025 remaster edition

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Jun 01, 2025

We are proud to announce the second major antiX init-diversity spin created by ProwlerGR. In their own words.

I am proud to announce the release of my antiX-23.2 – init-diversity – 2025 remaster edition which includes 6 inits (sysvinit – s6-rc – s6-66 – OpenRC – dinit – runit).

[...]

A big thanks to calciumsodium, masinick, and ile for testing and reporting bugs on the original 20250510 and 20250512 iso’s. All iso’s from 20250514 onwards have all critical bugs addressed and any iso after this version may have a few different versions of software installed.

A special thanks also to eric from Obarun for providing guidance about getting 66 properly working on antiX, which in my humble opinion is the pinnacle of this respin.
