About previous version: https://lists.altlinux.org/pipermail/altlinux-announce-en/2025/000049.html The build is available for x86_64 and AArch64, based on the 6.12 (LTS) kernel. More about the distribution images and updates: https://packages.altlinux.org/ru/p11/images/alt-education Download the release image: http://ftp.altlinux.org/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p11/images/education/ https://download.basealt.ru/pub/distributions/ALTLinux/p11/images/education/ http://mirror.yandex.ru/altlinux/p11/images/education/ The installer steps and interface have been redesigned. During installation, you can now select only one desktop environment—either KDE Plasma or Xfce. By default, the system offers the updated KDE Plasma 6. After installation, having a single desktop environment ensures a clean system with no duplicate applications. Educational software bundles can be installed both during the installation process and on an already installed system. New Features * A new ALT Components application has been added for managing system components via a GUI. This interface allows you to install and remove package sets on an already installed system. The application incorporates system protection mechanisms to prevent accidental removal of critically important packages. These new mechanisms in Alterator include: - Edition Protection: The system remembers which components are part of the selected edition’s base set and, by default, prevents their removal. - Manual Installation Protection: If a package is flagged with the apt manual flag (installed manually, not as a dependency), the system will not allow the removal of a component or package that would also remove the manually installed package. Advanced users and system administrators have the option to disable these protections. * The installer now includes an option to install the UDTN (Unified Data Transmission Network) certificate. After installation, connecting to a secured educational institution’s network only requires configuring the proxy server (provided to the organization). This eliminates the need to connect to a regular (public) network and reduces the risk of errors during manual certificate configuration. * Added instructions for installing the Jitsi Meet video conferencing platform. New Versions * Chromium 144.0 provides a more stable web browsing experience. * SANE 1.4 ensures proper functionality with modern MFPs and network scanners. Thunderbird 145.0 offers an updated interface with an improved UI. * KDE (Plasma 6.5, Frameworks 6.23, Gear 25.12). Educational KDE applications have been updated, including Cantor, KAlgebra, KBruch, KGeography, Kturtle, KWordQuiz, Marble, Minuet, Step. * Calibre 8.4 has become more convenient for handling large ebook files. TRIK Studio 2025.4 is prepared for the All-Russian Olympiad in Computer Science. It also introduces features for better adjustment of robot physical parameters and correct calculations using trigonometric functions. * Gazebo Sim 10.1(LTS) is a stable and modern version of the robot simulator with long-term support, making it well-suited for educational use. * GNU Octave 11.1.0 performs numerical computations with significant speedup (up to 150 times), offers high compatibility with MATLAB, and provides a convenient graphical interface with improved navigation. * NetworkManager 1.54 with enhancements for configuring network connections.
