TUXEDO OS 2 is in the incubator, and it's being fed updates and improvements

Not a month had passed since I wrote about the first version of the TUXEDO OS until the company announced the availability of the TUXEDO OS 2 preview version, which comes with several updates. So what are these updates? And what will we get in the final version?

Handpicked updates

The preview version of Tuxedo OS 2 provides several updates to various components of the operating system, including:

• Kernel: TUXEDO-optimized kernel version 5.15.0-10052;
• Graphics: Mesa stable 22.2.3;
• Audio & Video: Pipewire 0.3.60 & Wireplumber 0.4.12;
• Desktop environment: Plasma 5.26.3, KDE Frameworks 5.100, and Qt 5.15.7;
• Installer: TUXEDO-calamares 3.2.60 revised version;
• Software: Firefox 107.0.

The updates mentioned above may seem few, but they significantly improve the user experience that TUXEDO OS offers. Moreover, I presume we will see more updates and improvements in the final version.

Promises of the final version!

The company's developers seem to have read my Tuxedo OS 1 review, as they fixed most of the flaws I mentioned. The final release will ship with kernel 6.0, NVIDIA driver version 520, and an updated KDE desktop. It is worth noting that version 6 of the Linux kernel will enhance the user experience on TUXEDOcomputers devices, improving performance and fixing some hardware issues.
