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-gaming and setup-virtualization failing 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-brotli added 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
