The Linux From Scratch project has unveiled version 13.0, marking the first release exclusively using systemd as its init system. This update includes the Linux kernel 6.18.10 and upgrades to 36 packages. The change discontinues the longstanding SysVinit variant after version 12.4.
The latest release of the KaOS Linux distribution, version 2026.02, marks a significant shift by abandoning KDE Plasma as its desktop environment. Developers are introducing niri and Noctalia instead, driven partly by plans to move away from systemd. The update maintains a focus on Qt-based applications while updating core system components.

Devuan has launched version 6.1, codenamed Excalibur, building on Debian 13.2 Trixie while maintaining its commitment to init system freedom. This update introduces minor refinements, including better support for Raspberry Pi devices and fixes for accessibility features. The release underscores ongoing debates in Linux about modularity versus integration.
