One of the great things about Lunar Linux is that it’s a rolling-release distro. Which is to say, once you’ve installed it, bringing it all up to date is a simple matter of using the lunar update facility, which updates the moonbase–the software metadata repository–and then updates all of the software on your system to the current latest version. However, the latest official ISO release was a while ago. Which means that if you download Lunar Linux from the download page, you will have quite a long adventure ahead of you as everything needs to be updated.

That’s why I’ve started making daily ISO releases. They started out as a way for me to incorporate new software into the Lunar Linux installer, then they turned into a way to test pull requests in the core moonbase, and now they’re a reliable, safe, Lunar Linux installer. They work as USB media or if you burn them to a DVD–unfortunately they’ve grown too big for CD media over the years. If you want to install headless, they have serial-port installation support (think virsh console if you’re wondering why anyone needs serial ports in 2023).

So if you want to try Lunar Linux, please try the daily ISO.

We have received many questions as of late if the Lunar Linux project is still alive; the short answer to that is YES! Of course we can’t deny the fact that we are a little short on manpower right now, but packages are getting updated pretty much every day. If you want to track the package updates, head over to our GitHUB page.

Work is also ongoing to release a new official ISO, but we don’t have a firm release date set. While waiting for the official release we have been producing daily ISO’s that can be used until then, after all it’s only used to bootstrap your installation; Lunar Linux is as you know a rolling release distribution. The daily ISO’s can be found here.

Don’t hesitate to join our IRC channel #lunar on freenode if you have any questions, or if you just want to hang out with some nice people!

You better believe it, the day you all have been waiting for has finally arrived. The Lunar team proudly announce the final release of Lunar Linux 1.7.0 codename ‘Sinus Successus’.

Like the phoenix rising from the ashes Lunar Linux is back with a vengeance; a lot of overhauling have been done all over the core tools, packages, installer and the ISO-builder. Even though our journey to reach this milestone have been a long one we hope that the changes and quality improvements we’ve made was worth the wait. So what are you waiting for? Go grab a copy of Lunar Linux while it is hot!
