Dr.Parted Live is a bootable GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian's "Testing" branch. It is a live image featuring a lightweight Openbox window manager and useful applications for disc partitioning as well as data backup, restore and recovery.

Kiro is an Arch Linux-based distribution with the goal of being an intuitive and customisable ISO image builder. It provides a simple way to build a custom Arch-based installation medium with a choice of packages, settings and scripts. Kiro uses the Xfce desktops, includes the Calamares system installer, and has a modular structure.

Calam Arch Installer is an Arch-based Linux distribution created to facilitate the installation of an Arch Linux system to a hard disk. It is also a full-featured live Linux system with Xfce as the preferred desktop. The Calamares system installer offers a choice of several popular desktop environments and window managers, including Budgie, Cinnamon, Deepin, GNOME, i3, KDE Plasma, MATE, Openbox and Xfce. The distribution also offers support for both BIOS and UEFI boot, as well as hard disk encryption with LUKS.

XigmaNAS (formerly NAS4Free) is an embedded open-source NAS (Network-Attached Storage) distribution based on FreeBSD. XigmaNAS supports sharing across multiple operating systems, including Windows, Apple and UNIX-like systems. XigmaNAS is easy to set up in most home and enterprise environments and will allow to manage and share large amounts of data easily across a network. XigmaNAS also incorporates many different streaming features for sharing multimedia with other devices on the network. XigmaNAS includes ZFS v28 (RAIDZ, RAIDZ2 and RAIDZ3) Software RAID (0,1,5), Disk Encryption, S.M.A.R.T / Email Reports, and it supports the following protocols: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, TFTP, AFP, RSYNC, Unison, iSCSI (initiator and target), HAST, CARP, Bridge, UPnP, and BitTorrent. All are highly configurable by using a web interface.

Version 1.5.0 of the Radicle peer-to-peer Git collaboration platform has been released. This release includes better support for bare repositories, structured logging, and improvements in the output of rad patch show:

The previous output would differentiate "updates", where the original author creates a new revision, and "revisions", where another author creates a revision. This could be confusing since updates are also revisions. Instead, the output shows a timeline of the root of the patch and each new revision, without any differentiation. The revision identifiers, head commit of the revision, and author are still printed as per usual.

LWN covered Radicle in March 2024.

Klint is a Rust compiler extension developed by Gary Guo to run some kernel-specific lint rules, which may also be useful for embedded system development. He spoke about his recent work on the project at Kangrejos 2025. The next day, Alejandra González led a discussion about Rust's normal linter, Clippy. The two tools offer complementary approaches to analyzing Rust kernel code, although both need some additional direction and support from kernel developers to reach their full potential.

AcreetionOS is an Arch-based, desktop-oriented Linux distribution that aims to be user-friendly, approachable and stable. It has a policy of holding back new packages for a week of testing to provide a buffer against potential upstream issues. It uses the popular Calamares installer with sensible defaults to get a working system up and running quickly. The preferred desktop environment of AcreetionOS is Cinnamon, but an alternative image with the GNOME desktop is also available.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (python-internetarchive and tiff), Fedora (nextcloud), Oracle (kernel, openssh, and squid), Red Hat (kernel, kernel-rt, and ncurses), SUSE (afterburn and chromium), and Ubuntu (open-vm-tools, ruby-rack, and tiff).

Starting with Linux kernel 6.17, Linus Torvalds changed the maintainer status of the Bcachefs file system from “supported” to “externally maintained” since Bcachefs is no longer supported by the core kernel team because the Bcachefs devs refuse to follow the standards and rules regarding bug fixes and kernel versions.
