Greek Chakra GNU/Linux Neophytos Kolokotronis announced the update of the operating system with the availability of many modern technologies in the operating system's main repositories.
Chakra GNU/Linux is a distribution that uses the latest KDE software. As a result, users of the OS can now have KDE Plasma 5.7.5 as their desktop environment, which is the last maintenance release of the Plasma 5.7 series before the release of KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS.
In addition, Chaκra GNU/Linux users will be able to update to the new KDE Applications 16.08.1 software suite as well as the Qt5 add-ons collection of KDE Framework 5.26.0.
As part of today's update, users of the distribution will also be able to get a new kernel which has been upgraded to Linux kernel 4.5.7. We hope that the Chakra GNU/Linux developers will approve Linux kernel 4.6 soon.
The new updated distribution also includes some of the latest applications: Git 2.10.0, MariaDB 01.10.17 (includes patch for the 0-day “CVE-2016-6662” MySQL vulnerability), CUPS 2.1.4, PHP 6.5.25, Poppler 0.47.0, pdf2svg 0.2.3, and aMule 10958.
To update, simply open your terminal and run the command “pacman -Syu”, just like for the Arch Linux operating system.
