Image by Rockwallaby It took the development team on a longer journey than expected but we are proud to present you our latest Cassini release, named after the Nasa mission with the Cassini spacecr…
it ships with these new features:
x86_64:
Added a choice of bootloaders as well as the ability to not install a bootloader (systemd-boot is default selected)
Switched to dracut from mkinitcpio
Added an entry for Windows when using grub or systemd-boot and Windows is installed
You can now choose to create a new EFI partition instead of re-using the existing one when using “Replace partition” or “Install alongside“.
Grub submenu feature is now enabled by default (only default entry is visible extra entries are inside a submenu)
Default wallpaper/background is now set by settings packages instead of welcome
KDE/Plasma: Replaced the discover icon with a Konsole icon.
Cinnamon: Replaced adwaita icons with Qogir
GNOME: uses Console and Gnome-text-editor instead of now legacy gedit and gnome-terminal, Wallpaper follows night and day theme same for Console (it is set to dark only by upstream default)
Budgie: is set to Qogir Icons and arc GTK theme and uses Nemo instead of Nautilus (to have even theming possible, Nautilus is not able to get theming from Budgie)
Lots of Calamares cleanup work
Reorganized and cleaned up the netinstall packages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
