Uri Herrera announced today the release and general availability of Nitrux 2.2 as the latest stable live/installable ISO image of this Debian-based, systemd-free GNU/Linux distribution built around the modern KDE Plasma desktop environment.

Nitrux 2.2 is the first release of the distribution to ditch the long-term supported Linux 5.15 LTS kernel and switch to the more recent Linux kernel 5.17 series by default, of course in a XanMod flavor just like with the previous releases.

One of the coolest changes in this release is the ability for users to perform full-disk encryption of their new Nitrux installations when using the automated partition options (Replace Partition and Erase Disk) in the Calamares graphical installer.
