Skywave Linux v5.8 Released

Fellow Linux and SDR enthusiasts...

Here is a brief message to blog to advise that I have upgraded Skywave Linux to version 5.8, bringing a kernel upgrade and bug fixes:

1. Kernel 6.15.7, with the Xanmod efficiency and speed tweaks, runs this Linux very nicely on new and old hardware.
2. Neovim plugins have been upgraded.
3. Zram's memory compression algorithm has been changed to zstd.
4. Wezterm tab styling adjusted for the current dark theme.
5. Fixed a bug in the Neovim launcher which had prevented text files from properly opening if clicked from the file manager as root.

LOL, the mission objective for this upgrade was, "Make it more shiny and don't let Sid break anything!"

Skywave Linux is the bootable, self-contained live Linux environment which gives you access to live, over the air radio signals and streaming media from around the world. No strings attached. Skywave Linux is free as in "freedom" and free as in "free beer."

Cheers,
