A new Garuda Linux ISO release “250907” has been issued.
Disclaimer
ISO releases like this one are refreshed versions of an existing “major” release, containing the latest versions of all packages, bug fixes and hardware compatibility improvements. It is not necessary to reinstall Garuda Linux to take advantage of any changes made in an updated ISO file. A normal garuda-update system update will suffice.
Disclaimer for Linux news outlets and press
Garuda Linux ISO releases are not “major” releases of Garuda Linux and generally not noteworthy events. Although not on a schedule, it is not abnormal for there to be multiple ISO releases in a month. For most Linux news outlets, reporting on an ISO release is not recommended for that reason. The editorial freedom lies with the publication, however (of course!).
Garuda Linux is a rolling release distribution, meaning any changes made to it will be immediately available to the general public without the need to wait for a major release. The same also applies for these rebuilt ISO files. In a sense, rebuilt ISOs, while technically part of the same release, contain the latest and greatest software available in the repositories at the time of creation.
