![]() ![]() There is an option to verify the authenticity of downloaded KaOS ISO files through GPG signature verification, see the Download page for further details and instructions.Ī KaOS specific tool to write ISO files to USB is in use. The latter includes an Installation Guide. It is written in QML and fits well with the Welcome application used in the Live system. It will run on the newly installed system and offers to adjust some 15 commonly used settings, includes a custom Wallpaper selector, distribution info and the option to select packages to install from six different groups. ![]() KaOS' creation Croeso (Welsh for welcome) for helping with configuring a new install is included. LibreOffice has thus replaced Calligra as the default Office Application for KaOS. ![]() Since LibreOffice 6.2, it is now possible to supply this as a pure Qt5/kf5 application. ![]() Plus the Kvantum theming has support for Qt6. Latest applications that are now using Qt6 are Obs-studio & QBittorrent. A few test applications have been build on qt6-webengine, including some web-browsers. Qt 6.5.0 is included and is now far more complete since many more are ported from Qt5, this includes qt6-location and the big one, qt6-webengine (plus all the Qt6 webengine depends on). The move by Nvidia to 495 meant the end of support for Kepler based cards, thus the need to add a new legacy version. KaOS now regularly does a patch update from this fork for all of Qt 5.15, so it basically is now at 5.15.10.įor Nvidia, a new longterm support version is included in this ISO, 470xx. KDE has stepped up though and published a maintained 5.15 fork. Qt 5.15 does not receive updates or maintenance from the Qt company (only closed source, paid support is available). At this stage, KaOS is testing this transition with different new Python build tools, such as Python-flit & Python-build, with Python-wheel currently in use to install the build packages. PEP17 is the new standard for building python packages, see. Historically, just about all were built with setuptools through a setup.py script. Similar, Pipewire has replaced PulseAudio as the default sound/low-level multimedia framework.Ī shift has started as to how all Python packages are built. New applications added include Tokodon, which brings the Mastodon federated social media platform to your fingertips, allowing you to easily read, post, and message, plus Signal Desktop, a privacy-focused messenger application.Īfter almost two years of testing IWD, it is now in such a good state that it has replaced Wpa_Suplicant as the default wireless daemon for KaOS. That is now a thing of the past, Kjournald gives the option to view the logs from a nice GUI, with all kinds of filter options in the left-hand pane (it is now part of the default install) Getting good logs has always been a bit of a challenge since you have to know what journalctl commands to use. With the discontinuation of Fosshost, a new server was sorely needed. Updates to the base of the system included a new OpenSSL 3.0.8, CLang/LLVM 16.0.1, Libtiff 4.5.0, Sqlite 3.41.2, kernel moved to Linux 6.2.11, Systemd 253.3, Python 3.10.11, Dracut 059, ZFS 2.1.10, Gnupg 2.4.0, and Libarchive 3.6.2.īig thanks goes to YourHostingSolutions for not only providing a mirror, but also providing a server for KaOS. This new feature allows you to select several clips from your tracks, group them together, and then treat the group as one single sequence. For Kdenlive, KDE's powerful video editor, support was added for nested timelines. Among the many changes included in KDE Gear 23.04 are the option to run Dolphin with kio-admin, thus giving the option again to run Dolphin with administrator rights from the menu, Spectacle, the KDE screenshot app, added built-in screen recording functionality on Wayland and a total redesign of the user interface. This was a common feature some 10-15 years ago but has never been available in KaOS, thus available this one time, ten years later.įor the Plasma desktop, the latest Plasma (5.27.4), KDE Gear (23.04.0), and Frameworks (5.105.0) are included. Īnd to look back, there is an option added to play music during the installation phase. So, sddm will show you an empty username. Autologin is not enabled, since it varies greatly, depending on hardware whether X or Wayland is the better session. This ISO is only linked in the News item, not available from the Download page. The installer Calamares is not ready for Qt 6/Plasma 6, nor are there many KDE Applications available in their Qt6 version. This ISO is not installable, only meant to test in Live mode. Not only is there a new stable ISO released, but to look forward to the next ten years, there is also a Plasma 6 preview ISO available. April 2013 is when KaOS started, a nice way to celebrate ten years of KaOS is by releasing KaOS 2023.04. ![]()
