Nitrux 1.4 continues the monthly ISO releases and brings support for the recently released Linux 5.12 kernel series in case you want to install the Debian-based distribution on newer hardware that isn’t fully supported by the default Linux 5.10 LTS kernel.

This makes Nitrux one of the first distros to support Linux kernel 5.12, which can be easily installed over or alongside the default kernel by running the sudo apt install linux-image-mainline-current command in a terminal emulator.
