Key Changes
- The installer now provides a choice to enable LVFS (Linux Vendor
Firmware Service) for convenient automatic BIOS and firmware updates, or
to disable it for full manual control in critical environments.
- Snap support has been removed from the installation image, simplifying
and stabilizing the core package management system.
- The packagekit-background service is enabled by default,
pre-downloading packages to accelerate the system update process.
- Users in the wheel and netadmin groups can create system connections
(Wi-Fi, VPN) for all users via the standard NetworkManager interface.
- Kdenlive now supports the universal OpenTimelineIO (OTIO) project
format, enabling seamless collaboration with other video editors.
- Key KDE components are now safeguarded against accidental removal.
Updated Desktop Environment
The updated KDE Plasma 6 suite (Plasma 6.4, Frameworks 6.20, Gear 25.08)
features a redesigned System Monitor:
- New "Background Services" category provides a complete overview of
system resource usage.
- Disk Space Monitoring for all partitions, not just root and home.
- Separate GPU utilization graphs for processes running on Intel and AMD
graphics.
Other Desktop Improvements:
- "System Information" page now includes a "Sensors" tab displaying
real-time CPU and GPU temperatures.
- Spectacle screenshot tool now launches directly into capture mode.
- New accessibility features: mouse pointer control via the numeric
keypad and a three-finger pinch-to-zoom gesture on touchpads (Wayland
session).
Updated Core Components
- Mesa 25.1
- NVIDIA Drivers 580
- Qt 6.9
