Maginat 0.1 (preview) - Release notes
First public preview of Maginat, an independent Linux distribution built from scratch (Linux From Scratch 12.4, SysV init) with the Xfce desktop.
Highlights
- Live session and graphical installer, bootable in BIOS and UEFI mode (hybrid ISO, about 1.7 GB)
- Optional persistence on the USB stick (
sudo maginat-persistenza, then the "with persistence" boot entry) - NetworkManager with tray applet; VPN support through WireGuard and OpenVPN
- Bluetooth with tray icon; PulseAudio sound (Bluetooth A2DP); battery indicator and power management
- English and Italian: choose the language in the first boot menu
- Flatpak (Flathub preconfigured) and AppImage support
- Included apps: LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Mullvad Browser, Tutanota Desktop
Base system
Linux 6.16.1, glibc 2.42, GCC 15.2.0, Xfce 4.20, LightDM, NetworkManager 1.50.0, BlueZ 5.87, Flatpak 1.18.4, OpenVPN 2.7.8, wireguard-tools.
Live session
- User:
utente, password:maginat, sudo without password (live session only). - Default boot entry runs in RAM; use the "with persistence" entry after creating the persistence partition.
Installer
- Erases the entire selected disk.
- Installed system uses the user name and password you choose; live credentials are removed.
Known limitations
- Secure Boot is not supported.
- Bluetooth audio uses A2DP only; headset profiles (HSP/HFP) are not supported yet.
- Live session in RAM unless persistence is set up; large Flatpak runtimes may not fit.
- Tested in virtual machines (QEMU) and on one real laptop (Dell Vostro 15-3568); other hardware may behave differently.
- x86-64-v2 or newer CPU required.
Planned for 0.2
- Graphical software store and an update command
- Bluetooth headset profiles (HSP/HFP)
