Sculpt OS release 24.10 Oct 30, 2024

Thanks to a largely revamped GUI stack, the Genode-based Sculpt OS 24.10 has gained profound support for multi-monitor setups.

Among the many usability-related topics on our road map, multi-monitor support is certainly the most anticipated feature. It motivated a holistic modernization of Genode's GUI stack over several months, encompassing drivers, the GUI multiplexer, inter-component interfaces, up to widget toolkits. Sculpt OS 24.10 combines these new foundations with a convenient user interface for controlling monitor modes, making brightness adjustments, and setting up mirrored and panoramic monitor configurations.

Besides this main theme, version 24.10 benefits from the advancements of the Genode OS Framework over the past six months: compatibility with Qt6, drivers ported from the Linux kernel version 6.6.47, and comprehensive debugging support for the Goa SDK.

Sculpt OS 24.10 is available as ready-to-use system image for PC hardware, the PinePhone, and the MNT Reform laptop at the Sculpt download page accompanied with updated documentation.
