- Optimized System Configurations: Enhancements to TLP and Sysctl configurations improve battery life, system performance, and data integrity. The Calamares installer now operates without requiring an active internet connection, simplifying the installation process.
- Enhanced Language Support: Expanded language options now include Bulgarian, Ukrainian, Georgian, Korean, among others, ensuring a more inclusive user experience globally.
- New Tools and Utilities: The introduction of pipx, a package manager for Python applications, and desktop launchers for applications like LibreOffice and Bauh, offer users a comprehensive suite of tools right from installation.
Nitrux 3.6.1 is now available for download, providing a robust and efficient alternative to Windows 11 for those seeking a streamlined operating system.
