These improvements address issues like a &#8216;sticky keys&#8217; notification problem, the capability to display file sizes in binary, support for tiling windows by dragging them to the edge of the screen, a fix for invalid folder creation by extractors, and a new 10ms delay for showing or hiding the panel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The PorteuX <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/lxqt-2-1-promises-experimental-wayland-session-styling-improvements\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">LXQt<\/a><\/strong> edition has also seen enhancements, including the removal of the blue frame in focused areas. Meanwhile, the LXDE edition fixed an error\/freezing problem when dragging files from the Engrampa archive manager to the file manager\u2019s side panel, and the GNOME and Cinnamon editions underwent various package updates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><p>PorteuX 1.7 introduces several enhancements under the hood. It improves the structure of folders used by builders across all desktop environments and updates multiple packages to be compiled using Clang, which includes the kernel. The build process experiences increased efficiency thanks to upgrades made to the <code>makepkg<\/code> command in the build scripts, which now avoids compression. Furthermore, it offers enhanced support for <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5linux.com\/pipewire-1-2-3-implements-freewheeling-support-in-the-ffado-driver\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">PipeWire<\/a><\/strong>, refines GCC\/Clang flags to incorporate link time optimization (LTO), and optimizes the kernel configuration to minimize size while maintaining performance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This version also features improvements to the <code>xzm<\/code> converter scripts, which now support an <code>-o [path]<\/code> option. Additionally, it relocates <code>vte<\/code> from <code>002-gui<\/code> to the relevant desktop environments that utilize it, enhances stripping across all base modules, revises installation instructions, and eliminates several unnecessary packages and services.
