2023-04-18 NEW • Distribution Release: deepin 20.9
The deepin distribution has been updated to version 20.9. This is
largely a bug-fix release from the project that develops a desktop
Linux distribution based on the latest stable Debian and featuring the
Deepin Desktop Environment (DDE)
<https://www.deepin.org/en/deepin-20-9-is-officially-released/>
I have no a notion of what is happening at startup, copying from the
package
list I see:
• systemd 250.2.2-4 • systemd 250.2.2-4
• systemd-sysv 250.2.1-4 • systemd 250.2.2-4
• systemd-sysv 250.2.1-4 • systemd-timesyncd 250.2.2-4
• sysvinit-utils 2.93-8 • sysv-rc 2.93-8
• systemd-timesyncd 250.2.2-4 • sysvinit-utils 2.93-8
• sysv-rc 2.93-8 • systemd-sysv 250.2.1-4
• systemd-timesyncd 250.2.2-4 • sysvinit-utils 2.93-8
• sysv-rc 2.93-8
Maybe they offer a choice at some point of the new or the tried
and true. Basically this is a Linux for the people speaking Asian
languages especially Chinese.
==================================
2023-04-18 NEW • Distribution Release: Fedora 38
The Fedora team have announced the release of Fedora 38.
The new release offers the GNOME 44 desktop in the project's
Workstation edition. The distribution now features shorter t
imeout delays when services shutdown, which makes shutting down
or restarting the system faster. The DNF5 package manager as been
introduced as a technology preview and users are invited to try
it out and report on their experiences. Being out of Red Hat I
expect it uses systemd but it has versions that are not x-86.

==================================
I meant to have this out yesterday but two and a half hours on
dental "couch" waiting for various tests to be carried out left me
as unconscious as I wanted to be while waiting.
