Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2025 11:34 am
Dear all,
Kumander Linux 2.0 is now ready for download.
Changes and updates in this release:
• ISO file size reduced from 4.8GB to 3.5GB, due to careful removal of unnecessary packages and media
• Added "Start offline install" to the ISO menu for those that have a Wi-Fi device built in, but do not have an internet subscription
• Introduced the new System Manager, enabling you to monitor the system, manage the users, sniff the internet traffic, read log files and much more
• The Welcome app and the System Manager have been translated into 5 languages: Danish, Spanish, German, French and Tagalog (Filipino)
• Added the category "Windows Apps" to the Start menu, which uses the latest version of Wine to help run Windows applications
• Added the boot and shutdown screens
• Added a login theme sound
• Upgraded LibreOffice to the latest version (24.8.4)
• Added 28 languages to LibreOffice out-of-the-box
• Converted the login system from the abandoned Antergos Web Greeter to JezerM Web Greeter
• Fixed an issue with the Web-Greeter regarding a timeout that resulted in it reporting a theme error
• Fixed issue regarding incorrect timezone after install
• Added "Time and Date" to the Settings Manager, allowing users to set the system's time, date and timezone
• Added spell check functionality to Notepad
• Added all the home folders to Thunar's bookmarks (side panel shortcuts)
• Added new shortcuts to XFCE's UI, including "Start System Manger" and "Use Labels" (for the apps) to the taskbar, and "Screen Resolution..." to the desktop
• Implemented several tweaks to XFCE, to make it more user friendly for people familiar to Windows
• Redesigned the Kumander logo to reflect the "Aero" style of Windows 7
• And many other things I can't currently remember... will update this for the final 2.0 release!
Please see this post to see the changes in the previous release.
