Sculpt OS 25.04 brings compatibility with Intel's Meteor-Lake hardware, introduces multi-monitor window management and display rotation, and is accompanied by a major update of the Chromium web engine.

Incorporating all the technical advancements of the framework releases 24.11 and 25.02, Sculpt OS has now become compatible to Intel's Meteor-Lake hardware, leverages modern IOMMU features, and benefits from recent SIMD-based graphics optimizations.

Usability-wise, the new version comes with two highly anticipated features. First, building upon the multi-monitor support added with the previous release, the new version takes multi-monitor awareness to the window management level, allowing for the flexible assignment of virtual desktops to physical displays, adding new window-manipulation conveniences, and supporting rotated displays. Second, a new directory browser allows the user to interactively assign arbitrary directories as file systems to components, vastly easing the fine-grained sandboxing of subsystems.

Further, an updated version of the Falkon web browser has become readily available, which is based on the Chromium engine version 112 and Qt 6.6.2, and the Goa SDK has been updated to target the new version by default while introducing sandboxed builds.

Sculpt OS 25.04 is available as ready-to-use system image for PC hardware, the PinePhone, and the MNT Reform laptop at the with updated documentation.
