AnduinOS

AnduinOS 1.4 has been released, upgrading the base system from Ubuntu 25.04 to 25.10, with Gnome 49 and kernel 6.17. Key changes include dropping X11 support in favor of Wayland-only, switching to Firefox ESR, replacing the default terminal with ptyxis, and adding Romanian language support. The OS branding now identifies as 'anduinos' instead of 'ubuntu', requiring patches to maintain PPA compatibility. Direct upgrades from 1.3 to 1.4 are not yet supported, but a migration script is planned before January 2026 while version 1.3 remains under maintenance.

Announcing AnduinOS 1.4

Boring. There are tons of Ubuntu clones. Wake me up when this distro does something special.

another clone. i would really appreciate if people instead of wasting time on another ubunutu/linux-mint/windows clone, focused their time and energy into improving linux mint even further. For now I recommend staying with linux mint if you are new to linux. Don’t waste your time trying these clones.

Nothing special in this Distro for me. PopOS is my current favorite. If I change, I might either go back to Ubuntu/Debian or switch to Fedora.
