Systemd-Free Immutable Distro Nitrux 2.9.1 Is Out Powered by Linux Kernel 6.4 - 9to5Linux
9to5linux.com
Nitrux 2.9.1 distribution is now available for download powered by Linux kernel 6.4.8 and featuring the latest KDE Plasma 5.27.7 desktop.

Nitrux uses the Liquorix kernel, described as “an enthusiast Linux kernel designed for uncompromised responsiveness in interactive systems, enabling low latency in A/V production, and reduced frame time deviations in games.”

It also uses OpenRC instead of systemd. New in this release is kboot, a utility to switch kernels on-the-fly without needing a reboot, and VMetal, which allows users to run Windows in parallel to Nitrux to provide users of access to Windows software.

    Not sure what firmware limiters you’re talking about?

    The same limitation mentioned it the guide you shared:

    This solution basically hands over the GPU to guest OS upon booting the VM and hands it back to the host OS upon powering off the VM. The obvious downside of this is that you can’t use the host OS (at least graphically) while the guest is running. It is therefore highly recommended that you set up SSH access to your host OS just in case of issues.

    Also thanks for sharing it. I will try it some other time. 🙂

    Patch NVIDIA BIOS (only for Pascal GPUs)

    Only 10xx is affected or older cards are too ?? 😑
