PorteuX 2.0 has been released

Post#1 by porteux » 01 Apr 2025, 22:00

This release introduces the ability to test Wayland sessions in the current/rolling versions of Cinnamon, LXQt, and Xfce, in addition to being the default display server in GNOME and KDE since many releases ago. To test Wayland, log out and select the Wayland session from the first icon at the top right of the login screen. Keep in mind that the Wayland implementation in these desktop environments is still experimental. LXQt and Xfce, for instance, are using labwc compositor, which means Wayland won't work in VirtualBox.

1. Fixed application icons not showing in openbox session
2. Improved 001-core stripping
3. Improved clang compatibility in the kernel build script (to build using clang, run CLANG=yes ./createModule.sh)
4. Added CPU instruction detection to the Linux installer to warn users that PorteuX requires SSE4 (thanks to Ed_P)
5. Added lightdm, lightdm-gtk-greeter to Cinnamon, LXDE, LXQt, MATE and Xfce.
6. Added labwc (and its dependencies) to 002-gui
7. Added and set adwaita-cursors as default in Cinnamon to fix missing cursors when running in Wayland
8. Moved libcanberra, libdisplay-info, xorg-server-xwayland from some from desktop environments to 002-gui
9. Removed from 001-core: pptp
10. Removed from 002-xtra: gsm, libvpx (already in 002-gui), opencore-amr
11. Removed from some desktop environments: LXDM, exempi
12. Removed from Cinnamon: cogl, clutter
13. Removed from GNOME (current): libsoup3 (already in 002-gui)
14. Removed from Xfce: libsoup-2
15. Removed from 05-devel: gd (already in 001-core)
16. Removed /usr/local/include symlink in 05-devel (it was preventing the module from being deactivated)
17. Updated kernel to 6.14
18. Updated Nvidia driver to 570.133.07
19. Updated Cinnamon to 6.4.9 (current only)
20. Updated GNOME to 48.0 (current only)
21. Updated KDE to 6.3.3 (current only, thanks to LuckyCyborg)
22. Updated many packages in both stable and current according to upstream updates
