The Nitrux 1.3.9 release isn’t your usual monthly updated installation image, but is the distro’s first ISO built using a Debian rootfs!
Yes, that’s right, Nitrux Linux is no longer based on the Ubuntu/KDE neon rootfs and no longer uses the software repositories from Devuan GNU/Linux. While Nitrux is now a Debian GNU/Linux-based distro, this major change applies only to new installations. Existing Nitrux Linux users will continue to receive updates from the previous Ubuntu/KDE neon/Devuan base.
