siduction Linux 2024.1.0 has been officially launched as a significant update to this Debian-based GNU/Linux distribution. Known as “Shine on…,” this version is powered by the latest Linux kernel 6.12 LTS, and is synchronized with the Debian Sid (Unstable) repositories as of December 23, 2024. Users can expect to see support for the newest versions of desktop environments: KDE Plasma 6.2, Xfce 4.20, and LXQt 2.1.
Notably, the experimental Wayland session in Xfce 4.20 is currently not functional in siduction 2024.1.0. As a result, the default session for the KDE Plasma edition remains X11 because Calamares, the graphical installer, struggles with keyboard layout application under the Wayland session. This could cause significant issues during encrypted installations, though users can switch to Wayland at any time in SDDM.
The developers enhanced siduction 2024.1.0 with numerous useful packages and scripts. The systemd init system has been updated to version 257.1-3 and includes support for systemd-boot. Another notable improvement is the integration of SUSE’s Snapper tool that helps manage Btrfs snapshots during installation.
Available for download as live ISO images, this release comes in KDE Plasma, Xfce, LXQt, Xorg, and noX editions. Existing users can easily update their installations via the package manager with the following command:
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgradeFor more details and to download the latest version, visit the official website.
