Nitrux 3.6.1 Released, Here’s What’s New

Systemd-free distro Nitrux 3.6.1 is now available for download with the latest software, bug fixes, and more.

A month after its previous 3.6 release, Nitrux 3.6.1, codenamed โ€œlp,โ€ is available for download, focusing on updates that improve software functionality, enhance security, and expand language support.

Nitrux 3.6.1: Fresh Features and Fixes

Powered by Linux kernel 6.9, Nitrux 3.6.1 introduces several key updates. Notably, the distribution has transitioned to Firefox version 129.0.2 and has upgraded its NVIDIA Linux Display Driver to version 560.35.03.

Despite some compatibility issues with the latest Liquorix kernel, which has been noted to cause kernel panics, the team has provided alternatives for those needing the newest kernel features.

Moreover, enhancements in the MESA 3D Graphics Library to version 24.2.1 and updates to the Nitrux Update Tool System, now version 2.1.6, promise improved system stability and user experience.

This version also introduces pipx for managing Python applications in isolated environments and includes new desktop launchers for major applications like LibreOffice and Bauh.
