Mauna Linux 25.2 drops with OnlyOffice 9.3.1, updated firmware packages, more

Mauna Linux 25.2 landed yesterday as a minor release that targets improving system stability and providing multiple minor under-the-hood changes alongside updating various components.

Based on Debian 13.4 Trixie, this new version also ships with updated core applications such as Firefox 150.0 and GIMP 3.2.2. A noteworthy improvement is the addition of APT 3.2 with Advanced Hardware Enablement (AHE), which packs features such as rollback, redo, and undo for package management. The dependency resolver has also been enhanced to make upgrades safer and to better deal with essential system components.

Calamares 3.4.2 brings support for the Plasma Login Manager (PLM) for a more integrated KDE Plasma experience. The installer also detects NVMe and MMC SSDs, optimizing their handling and ensuring proper 4K alignment for modern drives, which boosts performance and reliability.

Mauna Linux 25.2 also updates system applications and tools, including the "About Mauna" application, which now provides more detailed logs, kernel configuration information, and improved security. The list of desktop environments provided includes Cinnamon, LXQt, MATE, and Xfce.

The system requirements remain unchanged: Intel Atom (or better) processor, 2 GB of memory, and 30 GB of disk space. The downloads page has no English version yet, but the distro comes with full support for English and other languages.
