T2 SDE 24.12 Launch: New Distribution Platforms

published the release of the meta-display t2 sDE 24.12 , providing an environment for the formation of their own distributions, cross-compilation and maintaining versions of packages in the current state. Of the popular distributions built on the basis of the T2 system, Puppy Linux can be noted. The project is provided 37 loading ISOs with a minimum graphic environment in options with MUSL, UCLIBC and Glibc libraries. For current architectures, assemblies with a graphic environment on the basis of Gnome and Wayland.

have been prepared.

The platform is focused on creating assemblies based on Linux nucleus, but prototypes develop separately to collect packages for various OS, including MacOS, Haiku and BSD systems. The plans to support the creation of surroundings based on other nuclei, for example, based on L4, Fuchsia and Redoxos, and the formation of assemblies based on Android (AOSP). More than 5,000 packages are available for assembly.

T2 provides support for 25 hardware architects used both in modern built -in systems and on outdated equipment. For example, support for the Nintendo Wii U and Sony PS3, SGI, Sun and HP workstations are provided. For some architectures, work is possible surrounded with 512 MB of RAM. Ready assemblies formed for architecture Alpha, ARC, AVR32, HPPA64, IA64, Loongarch64, M68K, Microblaze, Microblaze, Microblaze MIPS64, NIOS2, Openris, PowerPC 64, RISC-V 64, S390X, SPARC 64, SUPERH, I486, X86-64 and X32.

Among changes in the new version:

  • The initial support of the game console is added nintendo wii u .
  • . .

  • Added packages with the user environment Cosmic.
  • Paths are included in separate tests that increase the performance of software RAID based on the MD driver by 89%.
  • For RISCV-64 systems, support for GPU AMD based on the microarchitecture RNDA3.
  • Added changes that increase the stability and performance of the SPARC64 platforms, Intel Itanium IA-64 and SGI Octane.
  • Covers C Libreoffice, Openjdk and Qemu are adapted to work on many secondary architectures.
  • Added 206 packages and new capabilities, updated 3280 packages, 37 packages were removed. For example, updated GCC 14.2,
    UCLIBC 1.0.49, LLVM 19.1.5, Linux nucleus 6.12.5.
  • Automatic assignment of a host name based on a hardware platform.
  • The qemu emulator is included in the basic supply.
