Tucana 3.1
Welcome to July (now end of August sorry) update Tucana 3.1!
Release Highlights
Mirrors
Tucana now has an official mirror! https://ftp2.osuosl.org/pub/tucana-linux. This means that development releases will finally happen and selfhosting repos is no longer necessary! More are on there way
New Install Process
Tucana now uses a Calamares based installer! Simply open the "Install System" program in the ISO and get to installing! Read the Wiki for the new install instructions, as there is one step (choosing a mirror) which has to be done manually.
Package Updates
- Plasma 6.1.3 (First Tucana release with Plasma 6)
- Kernel 6.10.6
- Firefox 129.0.2
- Rust 1.81
- New toolchain (GCC 14.2.0, Binutils 2.43.1, glibc-2.40)
WARNING: If you are using an older version updating to this version is highly advised due to security vulnerabilities
Download
Download the ISO NOW @ https://ftp2.osuosl.org/pub/tucana-linux/stable/iso/
With the repos at https://ftp2.osuosl.org/pub/tucana-linux/stable/mercury (the installer will ask for this)
(I would recommend using the development repos for regular updates)
Future Plans
As always take these with a grain of salt, I have some massive plans for the next release, and it might be out earlier then expected, no promises though :)
