KaOS 2020.01 released. KaOS is a desktop Linux distribution, which feature the latest version of the KDE desktop environment and other popular applications using the Qt toolkit. It was originally based on Arch Linux, but since April 2013, developers began to create their own packages, these packages are now available from KaOS own software warehouse. KaOS a rolling update mode, and only for the 64-bit computer system.
This version has the most significant two updates:
The first is to add a signature for the Linux 5.4 kernel module. Now, all internal modules will build process automatic signature in the kernel, and the tree module (eg virtualbox-modules packages and NVIDIA) is also added to the signatures. These building blocks have been adjusted to use the kernel-specific signature files during each rebuild. By adding module.sig_enforce kernel startup line = 1 to enhance system performance. In this way the system can check whether to include a signature:
for mod in $(lsmod | tail -n +2 | cut -d' ' -f1); do modinfo ${mod} | grep -q "signature" || echo "no signature for module: ${mod}" ; doneSecond, in order to better adapt to the hybrid system and the non-free NVIDIA, has now been transformed from libgl is independent of the supplier libglvnd. It also makes NVIDIA bumblebee package obsolete. Xorg-server has been updated to 1.20.6, and therefore includes the use of Prime Bumblebee instead of the required patches. To this end packaging required script for the main package. Hardware detection script and Calamares Setup has adapted its code to use the new Prime option. NVIDIA Hybrid test hardware availability is limited, so users may still encounter problems Prime.
