BashCore is a Debian-based live Linux distribution designed for security professionals, networking enthusiasts and students. It is available in several editions. The original BashCore is a minimalist command-line only product based on Debian's "Oldstable" branch, while BashCoreX comes with the Xfce desktop, several privacy-oriented web browsers and other productivity tools. BashCoreZ, BashCoreT and BashCoreTX, based on Debian "Stable", are editions that range from ultra-minimal to a complete Xfce desktop. There are also BashLabOS and BashCoreGee, two general-purpose distributions for everyday use, with either Xfce or GNOME, and with various productivity applications, including GIMP, LibreOffice and several web browsers. The distribution also includes Tor and other privacy tools.
BigLinux is a Brazilian Linux distribution localised into Brazilian Portuguese (with support for English). It is was originally based on Kubuntu, but starting from 2017 the distribution was re-born based on deepin. It then offered two desktop environments - Cinnamon and Deepin. In 2021 the distribution switched bases and desktop environments again, migrating to Manjaro Linux and using the KDE Plasma desktop.
RakuOS is an immutable Linux distribution based on Fedora, with a choice of KDE Plasma, GNOME and COSMIC desktops. It combines an immutable, read-only base system with the full package flexibility of a traditional Linux distribution. While the core system updates atomically and can be instantly rolled back, the system's persistent overlay lets the user install any package, either through the dnf package manager or the distribution's own software center called RakuOS Software. Installation of Flatpak packages is also supported. RakuOS uses the performance-optimised CachyOS Linux kernel and also includes a graphical CPU scheduling utility to fine-tune the system for gaming, workloads or power efficiency use cases.
Aeon is an immutable desktop Linux distribution based on openSUSE. It is a relatively small, low-maintenance system with automated daily updates, thus recommended for Linux beginners or "lazy developers". Some of the distribution's other features include a custom system installer called Transactional Installation Kit (TIK), a pre-configured GNOME desktop, out-of-the-box support for Flatpak packages, Distrobox configured to launch Tumbleweed containers, and automatic rollbacks to its last working state.
VailuxOS is a German, desktop-oriented Linux distribution based on Ubuntu's long-term support (LTS) branch or Debian's "Stable" branch. The project's primary goal is to make the transition from Windows to Linux as seamless as possible by maintaining familiar ways of working and workflows. The distribution uses the KDE Plasma desktop.
d77void GNU/Linux is a Void-based Linux distribution created to demonstrate the capabilities of Void's tools, such as void-mklive and void-packages. Originally initiated as a Void respin with the Fluxbox window manager, the project has evolved to offer a wide range of window manager, Wayland compositor and desktop environment options, including Awesome, bspwm, COSMIC, dwm, Fluxbox, herbstluftwm, Hyprland, i3wm, JWM, labwc, LeftWM, LXQt, Niri, Openbox, Qtile, River, Sway, Wayfire and Xfce. The distribution can be installed to a hard disc with the text-mode d77void-installer.
Deblinux is an Italian desktop Linux distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch and featuring the MATE desktop environment. Its main focus is to provide a ready-to-use Debian environment with pre-configured drivers and multimedia support. The distribution uses the Calamares system installer and offers a large variety of useful software for general computing tasks.
Synex is a GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian's "Stable" branch, developed with the official Debian Live Build tool. It offers four separate desktop options with GNOME, LXDE, KDE Plasma and Xfce, all of which are composed of a rather frugal set of applications in its default state, without any development tools or offices suites. Some of the distribution's main features include Calamares installer with support for both BIOS and UEFI, CUPS integration for printing and network support, out-of-the box support for Flatpak applications, official NVIDIA driver installation assistant with support for both X11 and Wayland, and additional repositories containing Microsoft Edge, OnlyOffice and Zabbix.
SolydX and SolydK are Debian-based distributions with the Xfce and KDE desktops respectively. SolydXK aims to be simple to use, providing an environment that is both stable and secure. SolydXK is an open-source alternative for small businesses, non-profit organisations and home users. The project started as an unofficial variant of Linux Mint's "Debian" edition with KDE as the default desktop, but it was later given its own identity as SolydK. SolydX was added after Linux Mint dropped its Debian-based flavour that used the Xfce desktop. The project also has a rolling release branch, called Enthusiast's Editions, which used Debian Testing as a base.

The GNU Guix project has announced
three vulnerabilities in the guix substitute utility as well
as a fourth that affects the guix pull and guix
time-machine commands. The impact of the vulnerabilities ranges from remote privilege
escalation to local disclosure of sensitive files.
The remote exploitation of guix substitute only requires that the
vulnerable system attempt to download a binary substitute. Any
configured substitute server, including ones discovered using
guix-daemon's --discover option, can exploit this, and so can a
man-in-the-middle (MITM), regardless of whether https is used in the
substitute server urls.
The local exploitation of guix substitute only requires
the ability to connect to guix-daemon's socket, which by default any
user can do.
Separately, another security issue (CVE ID pending) was identified
in guix pull and guix time-machine, which enables anyone who can
control the channels file used by these commands to cause a file to be
created or overwritten wherever the user running the command in
question has permission to create them.
The project is recommending that all users upgrade guix
and guix-daemon immediately. See the announcement for
instructions, how to test for the vulnerabilities, the disclosure
timeline, and more.

Calculate Linux is a Gentoo-based family of three distinguished distributions. Calculate Directory Server (CDS) is a solution that supports Windows and Linux clients via LDAP + SAMBA, providing proxy, mail and Jabbers servers with streamlined user management. Calculate Linux Desktop (CLD) is a workstation and client distribution (with a choice of Cinnamon, KDE Plasma, LXQt, MATE or Xfce desktops) that includes a wizard to configure a connection to Calculate Directory Server. Calculate Linux Scratch (CLS) is a live CD with a build framework for creating a custom distribution.
