MassOS 2022.07
This is version 2022.07 of MassOS, released on July 2, 2022. It is the successor to the previous version, 2022.06.
Download:
- Standard and recommended Live ISO image
- Alternative Live ISO image (without firmware)
- Rootfs tarball (advanced users only)
Useful links:
- Installing MassOS - the MassOS installation guide.
- Upgrading MassOS - how to upgrade MassOS.
- About MassOS - information about the distribution for people who are new.
- Issues - if you find a bug in MassOS, you can open a bug report from here.
Changes:
- Fixed very long startup times in Firefox and Evince (#29).
- Fixed an issue setting the default locale in the MassOS Installer (#35).
- Added zap, a lightweight package manager for AppImages.
- Added mouse/cursor support for non-graphical environments (e.g. tty terminals).
- Added Vulkan-Tools, small utilities for working with and testing GPU Vulkan support.
- Replaced dhclient with dhcpcd, as dhclient is now deprecated upstream.
- Reworked the shell startup files (profile, bashrc, etc.) to hopefully fix some environment-related issues.
- Replaced Thunderbird with a more lightweight alternative (saves about 230MB).
- If desired, Thunderbird can still be installed from the software centre / Flatpak, and this is the preferred way to get it since it allows it to be updated independently of MassOS.
