Key Takeaway

Titan Nova serves as an interim update for EndeavourOS to provide hardware support upgrades while the upcoming Triton release undergoes development.

Summary

EndeavourOS has released Titan Nova, an update boost designed to bridge the gap until the major Triton release. This update focuses on hardware support and bug fixes for the Live ISO and installer, rather than system upgrades for existing installations. Notable changes include Linux 7.1.8, improved Nouveau driver support, and the temporary removal of the Budgie desktop environment.

Technical changes in Titan Nova

  • Linux Kernel 7.1.8 and Mesa 1:26.1.7-1 are included in the Live environment.

  • A temporary patch addresses keyboard configuration errors during setup.
  • Budgie desktop is removed from the installer due to its current transition to Wayland.

Why it matters

The release ensures users have updated hardware support via the ISO while the development team manages the complex transition to Wayland for the upcoming Triton release.
