Nitrux 3.6.1 build.310824.lp uses Linux 6.9.12-2 (Liquorix)
We’ve updated the distribution components listed below.
- Firefox to version 129.0.2.
- NVIDIA Linux x64 (AMD64/EM64T) Display Driver to version 560.35.03.
- ⚠️ Important: This release does not include the latest available Liquorix kernel due to the NVIDIA driver package causing kernel panics with Linux 6.10, as mentioned in these posts at the NVIDIA forum.
