Nitrux OS 3.9.0 Images Available for VirtualBox and VMware
Nitrux OS is a new Linux distribution, uses Nomad desktop built on the top of KDE Plasma 5 and Qt. “We are pleased to announce the launch of Nitrux 3.9.0. This new version combines the latest software updates, bug fixes, performance improvements, and ready-to-use hardware support. Nitrux is configured to use hardware capabilities to ensure top-tier performance and reliability. The observed increase in RAM usage manifests our commitment to delivering a smoother, faster, and more secure user experience by intelligently leveraging available memory resources. Enhanced Buffer Sizes: Larger TCP buffers allow the system to handle higher data throughput, reducing latency and improving overall network stability. Starting with Nitrux 3.7.1, you may notice that the system uses more RAM than previous versions. This increase primarily results from our optimizations. These changes enable better handling of high-speed network traffic, improved caching mechanisms, and enhanced system responsiveness. Increased Caching: Allocating more RAM for application and filesystem caches allows quicker application launches and faster access to frequently used files, enhancing productivity during heavy workloads. Nitrux provides multiple ways to encrypt information, including block-device using dm-crypt (see File Encryption in Nitrux), filesystem-level using f2fscrypt, and userland encryption tools like fscrypt and Plasma Vaults. We’ve updated the following components to the distribution: Firefox to version 132.0.2, Processor microcode firmware for Intel processors to version 3.20241112.1, MOKutil to version 0.6.0-2, SBsign collection of tools to version 0.9.4-3, Secure Boot updates for DB and DBX to version 1.9build1, Secure Boot chain-loading bootloader (shim) to version 1.59, AMD Open Source Driver for Vulkan® to version 2024.Q4.3, OpenRC to version 0.56, Intel SOF firmware to version 2024.09.2, Rsync to version 3.3.0+ds1-4, which includes backported security patches from version 3.4.0, Flatpak to version 1.16.0, We fully updated our desktop settings to utilize fingerprint authentication in SDDM and Plasma…” You can read complete release announcement here.
