TUXEDO moves from Ubuntu base to Debian |
 |
TUXEDO OS is a desktop distribution based on Ubuntu. The TUXEDO team is currently planning a move off of the Ubuntu foundation to Debian's Testing branch. There are several reasons for this migration, which are covered in the team's announcement. "As an LTS release ages, backporting modern software becomes increasingly difficult. Newer dependencies are often unavailable or only provided in outdated versions, making it significantly more complex to integrate current software reliably into an older package base. Updating central libraries such as Qt, on which KDE is built, can also cause software from the Ubuntu repositories to stop working correctly. This is not a challenge unique to TUXEDO OS - KDE neon regularly faces the same issue. Additional reasons relate to Canonical’s strategic direction. It is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the Snap packaging system out of the operating system, as Canonical is distributing more and more applications exclusively as Snap packages while gradually pushing traditional DEB packages into the background." The announcement also mentions issues with Canonical's approach to AI components and delays in getting security updates.
