Imagine what MiniOS 4 Flux could look like if it were released too.
For those who have a hard time visualizing the possible look of the Flux in pictures if it were officially released, I'll post it in ISO images.
For your convenience, I have created a MiniOS Nightly image repository, which automatically builds ISO images daily at 00:00 UTC using the latest minios-live scripts. You will find both current MiniOS builds and some officially unsupported editions.

MiniOS 4 has just been released, but we can already expect a new version with even more impressive features. Let me share some of them with you:

1. Enhanced boot options. toram.trim, toram.trim.load= and toram.trim.noload= will be added to the kernel parameters, which will allow loading into RAM only the data that is needed at the moment.

2. Flexibility when working with persistent changes. You will be able to save data even if you installed the system using dd, balenaEther or similar programs. There will also be a new storage mode casper-rw, which is similar to a raw image in Ubuntu, and automatic storage support when using Ventoy. There will also be a new kernel parameter perchtype=, which will allow you to force how to store persistent changes.

All these innovations will be available in early January. Stay tuned!

Unfortunately, due to GitHub limits, it is not possible to release so many images every night. At the moment, the build limits have already been exhausted. Therefore, in the future, the number of images will be reduced, and the build will be triggered manually when significant changes are made to MiniOS.

According to good old tradition, I have to postpone the date of the new release again😁 Everything is ready, but it needs time for testing, so that everything works beautifully and reliably.

🍊 MiniOS 4.1 is released‼️

Although only two months have passed since the previous version was released, Release 4.1 has implemented many significant changes that significantly improve the user experience. Among the most important innovations are the following:
We've brought back the 🔤🔤🔤🔤🔤 edition!!! New kernel parameters have been added to adjust how the system copies to RAM. These include: toram, toram=trim and toram=full. The handling of persistent changes has been improved, allowing them to function even when using tools such as dd and Balena Etcher. In addition, storing changes with Ventoy has been made easier and more convenient. Changing the distribution language has been significantly simplified and improved: language settings can now be configured using MiniOS Configurator, in the kernel parameters or in the minios.conf configuration file.

You can read more about the changes here.

The distributions are already available for download on the website.

There was an error building Ultra into a release, so if you downloaded this image, it may not be fully functional. The Ultra edition is currently unavailable for download, a rebuild of the release is in progress.
Sorry for this mistake, I didn't have time to check the new images.
The image has been replaced, everything should be fine now.
MiniOS 4.1.1 with fixes for all the bugs found in 4.1 is already being tested and will be released this week.
🍊 MiniOS 4.1.1 is released‼️

- Removed /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/09-timedate script, because it does not allow user to set time zone by himself and automatically overrides it to the automatically defined one.
- Fixed a bug in minios-configurator that caused incorrect mapping of fields to variables in the config.
- Fixed the way minios/minios.conf files on the drive and /etc/minios/minios/minios.conf files are synchronized, because of which locale and other settings are not saved when the drive is in read-only mode.
- Updated the help command man minios-configurator.
- Fixed a bug that could cause a created user to be deleted in puzzle mode.
- Renamed startup.output and statrup.trace logs to minios-startup.output.log and minios-startup.output.log.
- Renamed boot.output and boot.trace logs to minios-boot.output.log and minios-boot.output.log.
- Reworked iso image file system structure, thanks to which there are no more problems with system booting from BIOS when writing to HDD using sector-by-sector copying (dd, Balena Etcher, ...).
- Added copying of ssh public keys to RAM when toram=trim.
- Improved user and group file merging in puzzle mode.
- MiniOS kernel updated to 6.1.128.
- Added a check to sb2iso that will prevent the iso from being built if the system is loaded with toram=trim.
- Fixed a bug in the builder in the install_packages function that caused packages from backports to not be installed when using the -t option.
- Added deletion of /var/cache/mandb at system build to eliminate mandb cache error when installing packages.
- Added minios-kernelpack utility to minios-tools to package kernel modules and create initrd.
- Added a hotkey to open the start menu.

The distributions are already available for download on the website.
