Kaisen Linux Rolling 3.0 Release Notes
I would like to begin this blog post by announcing the end of the Kaisen Linux project with this latest release.
I wish to embark on other professional and personal projects that will take up a considerable amount of my time, and for this reason, I can no longer continue developing Kaisen Linux. This release will therefore be the last.
However, security updates will still be provided for two years, giving you time to switch to another Linux system and familiarize yourself with your new environment.
I would like to sincerely thank you all for your support over the past six years. This project has been maintained with love and passion for you! You are amazing, thank you all for your feedback, encouragement, and comments! Thank you to all the contributors for their valuable contributions to the project!

Kaisen Linux Releases Version 3.0, Announces Project Shutdown
Folks who’ve been around the Linux world for a while are used to its constant changes and rarely get caught off guard. But every now and then, something comes along that really does take you by surprise.
Why am I saying this? Because until now, I’d never seen a release announcement that rolled out new features while also announcing… the end of the project. Yet that’s exactly what just happened with the freshly released Kaisen Linux 3.0.
If you haven’t heard of it, that’s understandable—this distro doesn’t usually get much time in the spotlight. It’s a Debian-based toolkit tailored for IT professionals, system administrators, and network engineers, offering a suite of tools for diagnostics, maintenance, and repair of computer systems and networks.

Sad news: Another Linux distro is shutting down - Neowin
Recently, Intel announced that it will shut down Clear Linux, its Linux distro that was meant for more specialized activities like cloud computing, distributed computing, and highly optimized for Intel hardware.
While the company did not provide a reason for the shutdown, it is reasonable to assume it was due to cost-cutting. Now, Kaisen Linux, another specialized Linux distro, is headed for the graveyard.
The announcement came recently, bundled with news about the release of Rolling 3.0, the project's final version. In the blog post detailing the release, Kevin Chevreuil, the creator of Kaisen Linux, said that new personal and professional projects are taking up his time.
