Spaced Linux 11.26 opens the November 2026 release line.
Changes
- Ship Spaced Monitor 0.1.8: hardware cards keep updating without a supported GPU, closing the window exits the app, and the Overview scrolls in small windows.
- Keep theme switching working when the theme monitor restarts or crashes, extend coordinated libadwaita colors to every theme, and follow light/dark in RustDesk (#398, #403).
- Fix theme contrast: fallback icons match application and panel brightness, the XP and GeoWorks tray icons stay visible, Linux Light gets dark volume icons, disabled labels are muted, slider outlines are visible, and stale user-local theme copies refresh.
- Rebase the X server on Devuan
2:21.1.25-2devuan1(#401). - Caja places new desktop icons inside the work area and wraps them into a second column instead of behind the panel; Caja and Brisk Menu pass the live desktop checks (#389, #404).
- Replace Alacarte with Mozo as the menu editor (#391).
- Executable scripts launch as programs by default (#388).
- The LightDM greeter appears immediately, with a full-resolution default avatar (#393, #384).
- Spaced Update's What's New no longer takes keyboard focus on open (#392).
- RAR extraction from Caja/Engrampa via
unrar-free(#400). - Bluetooth audio through
pulseaudio-module-bluetooth. - Bazaar 0.1.15 follows the Spaced palettes and reports Easy Effects as installed after installation.
Known limitations
- Easy Effects installs but needs PipeWire to process audio; 11.26 keeps PulseAudio (#397).
- The Brave minimized-window/draft-loss report (#380) could not be reproduced and remains open.
- Installing a
.debby hand with APT from a private directory still prints APT's harmless_aptsandbox warning; GDebi avoids it (#399).
Installed systems receive these changes through Spaced Update from the signed APT archive (11.26-1).

The final image passed 289 unit tests and three GTK checks at build time. It booted to the Compiz desktop in QEMU BIOS and UEFI (3840x2160) with SysVinit and a clean package state, and all 13 desktop themes passed live switching. The preceding candidate also passed a Calamares install, first login with Welcome, and Bazaar and Brave installs.
