Puppy Linux creator Barry Kauler announced the release of Quirky Linux 8.6, which appears to be the last in the Quirky Xerus series, based on the Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (Xenial Xerus) operating system.
Coming five and a half months after version 8.5, Quirky Linux 8.6 is here as an incremental update consisting of various updated components and bug fixes, and it’s the last in the series as Barry Kauler plans to rebase the tiny GNU/Linux distribution on Canonical’s latest long-term supported Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system.
“Quirky Linux 8.6 is the latest in the “Xerus” series, binary-compatible with x86_64 Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS, though built with woofQ and architecturally very different from Ubuntu,” said Barry Kauler in the release announcement. “Version 8.6 is an incremental upgrade from 8.5, with package upgrades and architectural improvements.”
