The release of iDeal OS 4.3 is a maintenance update following MX Linux 25.2 and Debian 13.5 (thanks to the developers of these powerful distributions).
Emerald Edition:
- NEW: 'tirdad' is a TCP ISN CPU information leak protection tool, and 'sdwdate' is a Secure Distributed Network Time Synchronization tool that sets the system's clock by communicating via onion encrypted TCP with Tor onion webservers. These features were made available by the developers of the Kicksecure project.
- NEW: twelve new fonts available system wide.
- Enhanced security settings for the default browser and email client in AppArmor profiles.
- All other packages and applications have been updated/upgraded.
- Kernel updated to version 6.12.90+deb13.1-amd64.
- General system optimization.
Diamond Edition:
The Diamond Edition of iDeal OS is now available exclusively as a paid customization service.
It allows you to customize the operating system to your specific needs by choosing the applications and software tools that best suit your workflow: our team will prepare a fully tailored ISO, ready to download and install.
Empowering entrepreneurs, freelancers, programmers, web designers, content creators, artists, YouTubers, etc.
Extensive testing will be carried out to ensure compatibility and functionality, and everything will be seamlessly integrated into the beautiful KDE Plasma 6 desktop environment.
*** Users of previous Diamond editions will continue to receive updates via the standard repositories.
** This decision was made recalling the original 'free-time' nature of the project, and the increased amount of time required to maintain the two versions. We would like to express, anyway, our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us through words of encouragement, comments, complaints, suggestions, financial contributions and hardware donations.
* iDeal OS Emerald Edition will remain completely free of charge.
