Key updates include LXQt Panel's Desktop Switcher gaining Wayland compositor support, PCManFM-Qt's new 'Safely Remove' option, QTerminal emoji flag support, and LZ4 archiver support. A Wayland session is not included in the ISO but may arrive via PPA later. The release also adds full Intel Core Ultra Xe2 and Arc Battlemage GPU support, enables VA-API hardware-accelerated video by default, and adopts sudo-rs and rust-coreutils as defaults. The app stack includes Firefox 149, LibreOffice 26.2, and VLC 3.0.23. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
