The Arch-based Linux distribution LinuxHub Prime has released version 3.1.5, marking the third update of the year. This version introduces improvements like Conky support and enhanced live ISO functionality. Developers focused on refining installation processes and desktop environments.
LinuxHub Prime, an Arch-based distribution that enables users to create custom respins from its live ISO and offers one-click installation of various desktop environments and window managers, has been updated to version 3.1.5. This release follows versions 3.1.3 in January and 3.1.4 in February, bringing a series of enhancements aimed at improving user experience and stability.
Key updates in 3.1.5 include better error handling for the Calamares installer, which streamlines the setup process. The Plymouth boot splash has also been refreshed. For the Budgie desktop environment, the version now uses 10.9 with X11 sessions and 10.10 with Wayland, providing more options for display management.
The live ISO image has been improved for greater ease of use, now including an option to adjust screen resolution directly. Installers have been updated and categorized by environment, while terminal configurations for the installer have been refined. All window managers now include display managers for their monitor settings, and both the Welcome and Config applications have received updates. The main installer screen has been revised, and all desktops and window managers have been brought up to date. Additionally, support for Conky, a system monitor, has been added.
The project files for LinuxHub Prime 3.1.5 are available for download from SourceForge, with the ISO sized at 2.5 GB—slightly smaller than the 2.6 GB of version 3.1.4. A Magnet link is also provided for convenient access.
