Overview

Earlier in the month, it was said that there would be serious maintenance to this distro. Now, that request has been fulfilled. Here’s the scoop:

Tridentu 2’s Earlier Promises

Everything from This post either was covered or ignored (due to limitations) in this release. No issues there.

New papirus-folders KCM

This KCM allows the user to customize their folders’ color from the Papirus them (as well as the Papirus-Dark and/or Papirus-Light themes). IF you change the folder, you should get a notification about it.

Hyprland in the CMR

Hyprland is now in the Caravel Main Repository (as well as kitty).

Kitty also replaces Contour, so keep that in mind.

Neovim

Tridentu 2 now comes with Neovim out of the box. A kickstart-based config is provided for you to use with Konsole and/or Kitty (via ZSH).

What’s to come?

In the future, there will be a Tridentu2-1.4 iso (for KDE and possibly Gnome). Here’s some of the changes to be anticipated:

• Better ISOing process (no more live kit ramfs, dracut instead)
• Improvements to the Papirus Folders KCM
• Upgrade to 6.4 or 6.5
• Graphite theme (custom due to incompatibilities with the first one)
• A possible sources plugin rewrite for caravel
• Release notes in the installer will be linked to the releases category.
• [CMR] Better support for Hyprland

Endnotes

• The Tridentu2-1.2.5-kde-amd64 ISO will be removed due to it’s broken state.
• From now on, only two ISOs will remain at a time after each release.

Enjoy!
