This release brings Flatpak to PorteuX! On the first run, the user should provide a valid path where the Flatpak files will be stored, for example: sudo flatpak /mnt/sda1 (or flatpak --force-setup /mnt/sda1 if re-setup is required). The setup will configure the path and add the Flathub repository. After that, usage follows the standard Flatpak workflow, for example to install Furmark: flatpak install flathub com.geeks3d.furmark. And to run it: flatpak run com.geeks3d.furmark. For the full list of available applications in the Flathub repository, refer to https://flathub.org/. For the Flatpak command reference: https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.htmlIn addition, significant work has been done to improve how cheatcodes are handled. It is now documented which cheatcodes will be ignored when placed in /porteux/porteux.cfg: cfgfile=, delay=, from=, mopt=, fsck. Also, for cheatcodes that can be set in many places, PorteuX uses the following priority order (from highest to lowest):/porteux/porteux.cfgmanual boot command-line edits/boot/syslinux/porteux.cfgFor more information on cheatcodes, refer to https://github.com/porteux/porteux/wiki/CheatcodesThis release also completely drops the stable spins. PorteuX is now based exclusively on Slackware Current (rolling release).KNOWN ISSUES: it seems the installer is failing to make the PorteuX unit bootable when using legacy mode (i.e. non-EFI). For users facing this issue it's recommended to use the installer from the previous release: https://github.com/porteux/porteux/raw/refs/heads/2.4/boot/boot/porteux-installer-for-linux.runFixed Vulkan not working properly (this fixes some Steam games that were not working; thanks to tohanchik)Fixed cheatcodes that use UUID and LABEL (thanks to theUtopian)Fixed timezone issues when using UTC (thanks to sattheptonghop)Fixed /.cache creationFixed zram cheatcode not working when set in /porteux/porteux.cfgFixed the installer not working in NTFS3 partitionsFixed LXDE panel items not changing color when switching between dark/light themesFixed volume plugin freezes in LXDEFixed KVM not workingImproved how cheatcodes are handledImproved Openbox defaults in LXDEImproved overall strippingAdded to 002-gui: flatpak, intel-media-driver (this enables hardware video acceleration on newer Intel GPUs; thanks to fiftydinar)Added support for some Realtek network cardsAdded to 001-core: ensurepip (thanks to arleson)Added a patch in LXQt to inform the windowing system (X11 or Wayland)Added support for SYSRQ in the kernel (thanks to johndoe16444)Added to Cinnamon: xapp-symbolic-iconsRemoved from KDE Plasma: appstream, libfyamlRemoved from MATE: mate-themesUpdated kernel to 6.18.2Updated NVIDIA driver to 590.48.01Updated Cinnamon to 6.6.3Updated COSMIC to 1.0Updated GNOME to 49.2Updated KDE Plasma to 6.5.4Updated many packages based on upstream updates
