The 1.3.2 build introduces several significant features, such as the integration of libfuse2t64, libfuse3-3, and libopengl0, which allow for native AppImage support. Additionally, it includes the power-profiles-daemon for efficient power management and the Intel thesofproject/sof-bin firmware to ensure compatibility with the latest audio devices from Intel. A new pin file has been created to prevent upgrades to software-properties-gtk and base-files, ensuring system stability. The build also adds a user systemd service named deskmon, which allows for the automatic execution of desktop files, streamlining user interactions with the desktop environment.
In version 1.2.5, the focus was on resolving localization issues, incorporating the en_GB locale into the default settings, and improving the installer to adhere to the system theme. Enhancements to password security were implemented with the addition of the cracklib-runtime package.
The initial update, version 1.1.5, primarily focused on localization fixes and added the gstreamer1.0-libav package to the default application list. This build also introduced the deskmon service and addressed various localization and font issues.
The deskmon service continuously runs in the background to automatically trust .desktop files on the desktop, simplifying the process of creating desktop shortcuts. Users can disable this service or build it independently if desired.
Currently, AnduinOS does not have its own dedicated software repository; updates are managed through a bash script. Future plans include integrating the update mechanism into the standard sudo apt upgrade command for a more seamless experience.
Overall, these builds reflect AnduinOS's commitment to enhancing usability, security, and compatibility for its users while maintaining a Windows-like interface. The continuous improvements suggest a dedication to refining the user experience and addressing community feedback
