Good Evening @everyone !
Tonight, I would like to announce the release of Drauger OS 7.7, Beta 3!
From last release, a number of bugs were found and fixed:
-
- A number of bugs where fixed in the welcome screen (thanks to Senlis for the help on that!)
-
Most bugs that were known last release are still present to our knowledge. We are actively working to fix the networking issue.
If you wish to try out the beta release, then you can upgrade now and join our awesome beta Tester squad! Please note the upgrade procedure is still under active development, and the transition to KDE is still poorly implemented. If you upgrade, it is suggested to stay with Xfce to reduce the chances of bugs.
To upgrade:
1. Enable the dev repos in
2. Run:
3. Install:
4. Follow the directions the script provides:

We have checked all our servers, development systems, and our ISOs, as well as available packages.
All systems and code are, according to current documentation and understanding, not affected by the XZ vulnerability currently in the news.
As of now, Drauger OS is still secure.

Good day everyone!
Today, we would like to announce the release of Drauger OS 7.7, Beta 2!
Many of the bugs from the last beta release have been fixed:
Gwenview has been added for a picture viewer
Ark has been added to handle archives
Elisa has been added to provide a music player
The default wallpaper now applies on all available monitors
Users can now install and otherwise manage flatpaks out of the box.
The ISO has been reduced in size, from over 6 GB, to about 4 GB.
Icons that where not showing up on the welcome screen have been fixed and now show up properly.
However, some bugs still persist:
Network connectivity drops out after about 9 minutes. This is up from 4 minutes, but is still under investigation.
To correct this, run: sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
This work around is only temporary and needs to be reran every 9 minutes or so.
Fresh Installs do not always use Wayland by default.
This is a KDE issue, not a Drauger OS issue, as this affects other distros such as Kubuntu and Fedora.
KDE developers are aware of the issue. A fix is either planned, or waiting to be applied.
Drauger OS cannot boot using Ventoy.
This is still under investigation.
Most other distros use either GRUB or ISOLINUX for the bootloader of their ISO. We are planning to stick with systemd-boot for now.
It is unclear if this is a Ventoy issue, a systemd-boot issue, or a Drauger OS issue.
If you are currently using Drauger OS 7.7 Beta 1, never fear! All you need to do to upgrade to beta 2 is make sure your system is up-to-date!
In other news, you may notice our website has had a massive overhaul and now looks and works much better on both Desktop and Mobile. I would like to thank RileyAva on our Discord for all the work they put in helping with this!

It has come to our attention that there are some held packages that have been preventing users from updating. We have resolved this issue, but we are currently dealing with another, similar one which cropped up as a result.
For the time being, please do not update your systems, unless you have the dev repos enabled. We are actively investigating the issue. We will post again when the issue has been resolved. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Didn't get to see our lead dev's talk on Optimizing Linux for Gaming Performance? You can watch the hour long talk now on YouTube

Most of these optimizations are already set up in Drauger OS. But, it's super useful still in other distros!
