Oreon 10 (Build 2606) - May 29, 2026

This is a minor feature update build for Oreon 10. Make sure to update your systems.

Changelog:
- Upgraded from GNOME 48 to GNOME 49 (from AlmaLinux)
- Fixed NVIDIA drivers leading to issues with GTK4 apps

ISOs have been updated.

Bugs shall be reported in #oreon-support-forum or #oreon-support-chat.

UPDATE: The ISO built, and GNOME works okay, but another thing caused by AlmaLinux is leading to GTK4 apps to crash, I'm still trying to figure it out, thanks for waiting (if anyone even cares about Oreon right now)

Hey guys, Oreon 10 (Build 2606) will likely be releasing later today or tomorrow, bringing GNOME 49 from AlmaLinux. We're currently having issues running the GNOME extension builds on Fedora's COPR build system, because they have YET another outage, so we're waiting for that to clear up before we update them. Then we will push out the ISO. Thanks!

Sorry everyone, I know I said Oreon 11 would enter beta this month, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen yet. We're still packaging a ton of things and fixing issues.

We will keep you updated very soon. :)
