14 DAY TRIAL // The development team behind the Chakra GNU/Linux operating system, through Neofytos Kolokotronis, is reporting on the latest updates that landed in the stable software repositories of the GNU/Linux distribution.
Chakra GNU/Linux users will be glad to learn that the latest KDE Plasma 5.9.5 desktop environment, which is the last maintenance update in the series, has landed in the repos, bringing them a great number of patches for their beloved KDE apps and utilities.
Additionally, the recently released Wine 2.7, cURL 7.54.0, Rust 1.17.0, and os-prober 1.74 packages have also landed in the Chakra GNU/Linux repositories. These, of course, are the most notable packages that have been updated, because many other components received new versions.
Users are encouraged to update their systems as soon as possible
It's not much, we know, but you're still encouraged to update your Chakra GNU/Linux installations as soon as possible, especially if you want to run the most recent KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment, but also to keep your operating system up to date and secure.
"It should be safe to answer yes to any replacement question by pacman. If in doubt or if you face another issue in relation to this update, please ask or report it on the related forum section. Most of our mirrors take 12-24h to synchronize, after which it should be safe to upgrade," said Neofytos Kolokotronis in the announcement.
To update, simply open your favorite terminal emulator and run the "sudo pacman -Syu" command, which will automatically download the latest updates and install them on your Chakra GNU/Linux distro. We recommend restarting your KDE session or rebooting the computer after installing the new KDE Plasma 5.9.5 packages to make sure you won't encounter any glitches.
