EndeavourOS “Mercury Neo” released!

After EndeavourOS “Mercury” got released on February 10th, the team behind EndeavourOS has released a March 2025 refresh of the same distribution version, called “Mercury Neo.” It brought updated versions of all applications, including the following:

• Calamares 25.02.2.1-2
• Firefox 136.0.2-1
• Linux 6.13.7.arch1-1
• Mesa 1:25.0.1-2
• Xorg-server 21.1.16-1 (xorg)
• Nvidia 570.124.04-4

This makes sure that your system is up to date with the latest version of all software released with this version of EndeavourOS. Mercury Neo only affects new installs, but the team ensures that your system is running fine if you upgrade regularly.

The xwaylandvideobridge package has been removed upstream, so the install scripts no longer refer to it as it has already been deleted. In addition to that, obsolete NVIDIA-specific boot menus have been removed to clean things up.

For users living in some regions, the Arch mirror ranking stage, which is run before installation finishes, has been fixed so that it can correctly rank some Arch mirrors to prevent installation failures.

For UEFI systems, if you try to install “Mercury Neo” with systemd, the EFI system partition is generated with 2 GB in size instead of the smaller 1 GB size.

Ubuntu 24.10 Oracular Oriole gets the KDE 6 update! This means that you’ll be able to experience the newness and the awesomeness of the modern KDE desktop that replaces the 5.x series that was released on 2014.

It’s a revolution for Kubuntu users who are looking for the Plasma 6 desktop. If you’re running Kubuntu 24.10, you can now upgrade to Plasma 6 by initiating the full system upgrade.

Did you remember this development version of Plasma 6 that was demonstrated by KaOS back on September 2023? And did you remember that we had told you in the early stages of development that KDE 6.x will be included in the final version of Ubuntu 24.10?

KDE Plasma 6 features a sleek desktop design that follows the modern principles of this time and age, as well as new features, such as the return of Desktop Cube, the new “Ocean” sound theme, and the support for Islamic Hijri calendar. It also brings improvements that improve your user experience, such as panel settings being exposed in a nicer way and the visualizer for the Night Light transition time.

Now, you can see the demonstration of the desktop running under KDE Plasma 6.1!

Enjoy!
