  • Fixed issue with startup where the intro videos and managers would always boot up even after install.
  • Fixed some spacing issues in the bottom panel, You will notice that everything spaces much better now.
  • Increased the menu button icon slightly to better align with the rest of the panel icons.
  • Redesigned the Desktop Manager ( formerly portal manager ) to be more in line with the same design we use for shift, it has a very similar look.
  • Added Discord app.
  • Added Wine and Wine Tricks
  • Added Playonlinux
  • Added Evince document viewer.
  • Windows apps should just work out of the box now, pretty much the same way they did before on the old LinDoz build.

  • More changes to the main menu, The categories, Application and Power buttons are now scaled to better give a more streamlined look.
  • some tweaks to general themes to give a more polished look.
  • Updated packages and kernel to newest version.

Date : 2021-10-12

  • Added “Cinnamon” support to the Constructor tool, Previously it was not specifically making the proper system checks for the cinnamon desktop files, it now does.
  • Added a “welcome” screen that pops up before the portal manager.
  • Added back the old “Donate” options screen we previously used.
  • Both Welcome and Donate screen were previously discontinued because Linux removed support for Python 2, I had to adapt and update these to be compatible with Python 3.
  • Upgraded Kernel to 5.11.0-37
  • Added the application “mainline”, which can be found in the main menu, this lets users update the kernel easy to the latest available kernel from the linux foundation.

  • Some changes in how the triggers handle the First boot process after installation have been updated.
  • Updated many packages in the OS itself.
  • Due to some Optimizations the ISO size has decreased down to just 1.82GB ( of course it will increase again soon when we start populating the os with pre installed apps. )
