This release does not have the complete rice but its almost there. If you want to change the font, use
nwg-look(GTK-settings in the wofi menu). Also, the user scripts have not been fully ported from layer 01 yet. This is a test release that runs a nice system though.Changelog

2026.06.23 layer 02: Protocol 7 alpha Pre-release
released this
2026-06-24 06:19:24 +02:00 | 49 commits to main since this release####lainOS layer 02 user wiki####
Please read the lainOS layer 02 wiki before installing. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ARE IN THE WIKI. DO NOT USE BTRFS(it will likely be included in the next release)
This release is confirmed to install and run on both UEFI and BIOS boot systems. I suppose this is the alpha testing phase. The system seems to be stable, we'll know somewhat how stable after a few systemd update cycles(every 3 or 4 weeks over the next few months). Protocol 7 only uses systemd-libs for compatibility, there are no systemd binaries or daemons running a black box on your system. This system is transparent, deterministic, and auditable. Enjoy!

2026-06-22 22:55:06 +02:00 | 50 commits to main since this releaseTHIS RELEASE ONLY WORKS ON SATA DRIVES. NVME SUPPORT WILL BE FIXED ON NEXT RELEASE
This release boots, installs, and runs on SATA drives and in KVM. Nvme support will be integrated in the next release.
Keep in mind; lainOS layer 02 uses
doasand notsudo.When you login to the live session with liveuser and no password, it will take 10 or 20 seconds to hit the desktop(just like the old layer 01 live session).
Once you boot the ISO into the live session, Press super+spacebar to pull up the wofi menu, type 'install', then press enter to start the calamares installer.
