This is a maintenance refresh of RakuOS Linux 44 addressing several bugs and stability improvements reported since the initial release.
System & Overlay Fixes
- Fixed an issue where the overlay sync would incorrectly trigger after an overlay update had already run — the session dirty file is now properly cleaned up, preventing unnecessary re-syncs on the next boot
- Fixed service startup ordering that could cause overlay services to start in the wrong sequence
- Fixed soft resets not completing correctly in certain conditions
- Overlay sync no longer runs if an overlay update has already completed the current session, preventing redundant operations and potential conflicts and unwanted system reboots
Gaming, Virtualization Setup & DNF Fixes
- Fixed
setup-gamingandsetup-virtualizationfailing to install packages — certain packages were being incorrectly excluded by DNF, preventing the setup scripts from completing. The DNF configuration has been corrected so these packages install as expected python3-brotliadded to the packages list to prevent it from being excluded so Lutris works as expected- Updated the system upgrade command to use the correct invocation
Software Center
- Fixed the install/remove lock not being respected during an overlay update — the Software Center now correctly disables install and remove actions while an update is in progress
- Improved behavior when an overlay update is running — package installations from repositories are now blocked during database updates, and the initial daemon update check is held until the lock clears
- Fixed initial Flatpak install issues that could fail silently in certain configurations
- Tray icon fixes and COSMIC desktop improvements for the Software Center
- UI updates to better blend with Qt theming
- Install/Remove buttons are now visually greyed out while the overlay update lock is active, making the locked state clear to users
Live Environment
- Fixed COSMIC desktop favorites not showing the installer shortcut correctly in the live session
