Blue text above ● Follow Linux Community Less than two months after the release of Nitrux 3.9, this immutable Linux distribution has welcomed version 3.9.1, codenamed “mk”. This codename is closely related to the Nitrux team’s ongoing optimizations of MauiKit and its associated applications. In this update, the system not only fixes several known issues but also introduces multiple improvements and new features, further enhancing user experience and system stability.
Optimizations for MauiKit and Applications
In this version, MauiKit has further enhanced the flexibility of interface elements, adding more additional properties such as toast notifications, improved text boxes, and pop-up windows. Additionally, the file tagging feature has been optimized, and issues with date and time handling in certain time zones have been fixed. The newly introduced FavButton makes file tagging operations more convenient.
Core System Upgrade
Nitrux 3.9.1 uses the Liquorix Linux Kernel 6.13 and updates firmware drivers from manufacturers such as AMD, Qualcomm, Intel, MediaTek, and Realtek. System parameters (sysctl) have also been adjusted to reduce the likelihood of system freezes and improve network traffic handling efficiency. Furthermore, several key software libraries have been upgraded, including:
- Qt 6.7.2
- Some components of KDE Frameworks 6.8.0
- MESA 25.0.1
- PipeWire 1.4.1
- Docker 26.1.5
- Podman 5.4
These updates further enhance the stability and compatibility of the Linux desktop.
Fiery Browser: A New Member of the MauiKit Ecosystem
One of the highlights of this release is the Fiery Browser, a new browser developed based on MauiKit, providing a clean and cross-platform consistent experience. Currently, it still lacks features such as incognito mode and bookmark import, but with further development, it is expected to become an important part of the Nitrux ecosystem.
It is worth mentioning that Firefox is no longer the default browser, but users can still install other browsers via AppImage, containerized applications, or Flatpak, ensuring flexibility in usage.
AI, High-Performance Computing (HPC) Support, and Software Adjustments
Nitrux 3.9.1 adds support for AMD ROCm, allowing AMD GPUs to be used for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) tasks. Meanwhile, NVIDIA CUDA remains available, but this update does not include AMD’s proprietary drivers.
Additionally, some software adjustments include:
- Removal of NX Software Center — Due to changes in the OpenCollaborationServices API, maintenance costs have increased, leading to the official decision to temporarily remove it.
- Bonsai temporarily removed — This application is migrating to Qt 6 and will be reintroduced once adaptation is complete.
Conclusion
Nitrux 3.9.1 brings more powerful MauiKit components, an updated kernel, better hardware support, and the newly added Fiery Browser, further enhancing user experience. At the same time, support for AI and HPC computing gives Nitrux stronger competitiveness in professional fields. The official announcement provides complete update details and download links. New users are advised to use the latest installation media for a fresh installation, while existing users can follow the official upgrade guide for updates.🚀Related: Explore Nitrux 3.9 https://www.linuxmi.com/nitrux-3-9.html
