Mabox Linux has announced the release of version 25.08, which comes with several notable enhancements, particularly for users needing support for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. This release includes the noto-fonts-cjk package, which facilitates the installation of these specific fonts, streamlining the process for users who prefer or require these language options. However, it is important to note that the package is quite large, at approximately 300 MB, though users can easily remove it post-installation if they do not intend to use it.
In addition to the font improvements, Mabox 25.08 features changes to the installer settings. The default file system has been updated to ext4, which is now recommended for better performance and reliability. Key options, such as autologin and reusing the user password for the root account, are also enabled by default to enhance user convenience during installation.
Users can download the new ISO images from SourceForge or the Mabox Linux repository. There are two versions available: one with the latest long-term support (LTS) kernel, linux612, and another with a slightly older LTS kernel, linux61.
Overall, Mabox Linux 25.08 not only simplifies the installation for users needing specific language support but also improves the overall user experience with thoughtful changes to the installer settings. This release is a step forward in making Mabox Linux more accessible and user-friendly for a diverse range of users
