Superseded by the 29 September build: download that one instead.

Test build of the melon desktop (KDE Plasma on Wayland) live ISO, 28 September 2026.

Write it to a USB stick (Rufus, balenaEtcher, Ventoy or dd) and boot it; the live session starts Plasma on its own,
and "Install melon" on the desktop installs it.

New in this build: laptop touchpads (I2C HID on AMD and Intel), Wi-Fi cards whose interface appears after the firmware
loads (MediaTek MT7921 and others), USB drives, printing, screen recording codecs, a new wallpaper and loading screen.

If hardware doesn't work, run sudo melon-hwreport in Konsole and attach the file it writes.

Check the download against SHA256SUMS.
