Edit your documents with LibreOffice 26.2.5 and GNOME Office (AbiWord 3.0.8, GIMP 3.2.4, Gnumeric 1.12.61), surf the Internet with Firefox 153.0 or Chrome 151.0, and send emails via Thunderbird 153.0. Enjoy your music collection with Audacious 4.6.1, watch your favorite videos with mpv 0.41.0 or VLC 3.0.23, and play games powered by Mesa 26.0.3. You can also set up a very lightweight HTTP/FTP server (based on BusyBox 1.37.0). PHP 8.5.4, Perl 5.42.1, Python 3.14.3, and Ruby 3.4.8 are also available.
As always, the new major release has some new features, including simplified Wi-Fi configuration and improved support for legacy graphics cards. Rocks'n'Diamonds (a classic platform game), Elvis (an old Vi clone), PDF Tricks (a Ghostscript GUI for handling PDF images) are available as downloadable extensions, while ksh (KornShell) and audioconvert (a command-line utility) are included out of the box. Support for Ultra HDR images (via libultrahdr and ImageMagick) has also been added. And finally, the Linux kernel in 4MLinux has been upgraded to its latest LTS version, i.e. 6.18.
