The monthly Nitrux releases continue, and Nitrux 1.7.1 is here as what would appear to be a minor point release to last month’s Nitrux 1.7 update. But, in fact, it’s an important milestone as it ships with the latest and greatest Linux 5.15 LTS kernel by default.

On top of that, this release comes with the KDE Plasma 5.23.2 desktop environment, which is accompanied by the KDE Frameworks 5.87 and KDE Gear 21.08.2 software suites. Learn more about the point release here.
