Nitrux 3.4.1 introduces several updates and enhancements. The update includes a functional replacement of the non-functional saferm script.

PowerTOP, a tool for diagnosing and improving power management, is now included. An OpenRC service script has been added to apply power-saving settings automatically on boot.

For developers, debugfs is included to provide extensive information through an unregulated file system, offering greater flexibility over the traditional /proc and sysfs interfaces. The NVIDIA Linux Display Driver has been updated to version 550.78, enhancing support for NVIDIA graphics cards.

The update also introduces support for hardware interaction enhancements, such as an X11 configuration file for overclocking NVIDIA graphics cards and a boot parameter that allows utilities like CoreCtrl to override power features for AMD graphics using the “amdgpu” MESA driver. Moreover, Nitrux 3.4.1 now supports consumer fingerprint reader devices more robustly with fprint and has configured SDDM to allow logins using fingerprints or passwords, though users should be aware of the limitations mentioned in the distribution’s notes.

The update also addresses several bugs, including display issues in Plasma System Monitor, boot splash image problems, and authentication challenges with PolicyKit. Nitrux 3.4.1 “mi” is now available for everyone.

Whether you’re transitioning from Windows 11 or simply in search of a more dynamic and secure Linux distribution, Nitrux provides an impressive suite of updates and enhancements. If you’re ready to make the switch, Nitrux is ready for you.
