Gnoppix 23/24, with its LTS support extending until 2028, remains a stable and reliable foundation for our users. However, we’re constantly striving for innovation and are excited to share a glimpse into what’s in store for the mid-to-end of 2025 with the upcoming Gnoppix 25 release.
Key Highlights:
- Certification Authentication: A major leap forward for Gnoppix 25 will be the introduction of certification-based authentication. This eliminates the need for passwords, streamlining access to all our services with a simple certificate.
- Reduced Pricing: Thanks to the generous support of our community through donations, we’re thrilled to announce a price reduction from €39.99 to €29.99. Your contributions directly fund our infrastructure and allow us to offer Gnoppix at a more accessible price point.
- Community Contributions: We continue to rely heavily on the support of our community. If you have the means, we encourage you to consider sponsoring infrastructure to ensure Gnoppix remains “free” for all users.
- Enhanced Documentation: We’ve significantly increased our presence on GitHub, and in the coming weeks, we will be releasing comprehensive documentation on how to generate your own Arch-based images.
- Uncensored AI: We remain committed to providing uncensored access to AI technology. We believe that restricting access to research prompts based on sensitive topics is detrimental to the advancement of knowledge. Gnoppix will continue to champion unhindered AI exploration across all domains.
- Gnoppix Gaming: We’re excited to collaborate with Arch/Cachy to enhance the Gnoppix Gaming experience. This will allow users to easily install the KDE version with the latest software updates, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience.
- We’re offering a special promotion: donate now to secure your copy of Gnoppix 25 and receive a free upgrade upon its release in mid-to-late 2025. Gnoppix 25 will enjoy Long-Term Support (LTS) until 2030.
Infrastructure Needs:
While the price reduction is a significant step, we still rely heavily on community support for infrastructure costs. If you’re able, please consider contributing to our infrastructure fund to ensure the long-term sustainability of the Gnoppix project. Checkout: Gnoppix Docs
Looking Ahead:
Gnoppix 25 represents a significant milestone in our journey. With the introduction of certification authentication and the continued support of our amazing community, we’re confident that Gnoppix will remain a leading-edge Linux distribution for years to come.
We encourage you to stay tuned for further updates and join us in shaping the future of Gnoppix.
