14 DAY TRIAL // Black Lab Software's CEO Robert J. Dohnert is informing Softpedia today about the availability of a new weekly snapshot of the Ubuntu-based Black Lab Linux operating system.
At the end of February, we informed you that Black Lab Software decided to release weekly builds of Black Lab Linux, keeping users up to date with the latest GNU/Linux technologies, but also patching security flaws and fixing some of the most annoying bugs.
Therefore, Black Lab Linux Weekly 253 release comes pre-installed with all security updates that have been released upstream during the last week, addresses a kernel crash with USB-C devices, stabilizes wireless support across all supported platforms, and improves support for Microsoft Surface Studio devices.
That's all for this new ISO snapshot of Black Lab Linux, which doesn't come without flaws, as the developers inform us that HDMI dual monitor support still causes static for the secondary display, support for Macbook Pro's Touchbar is missing, and there are some issues with Microsoft Surface Book's touchscreen.
Additionally, you should be aware of the fact that you can't install Black Lab Linux alongside Windows 10, and switching to tablet mode freezes the operating system on some notebooks. You can download the Black Lab Linux Weekly 253 64-bit ISO image right now if you want to install the OS on your personal computer.
If you're using Black Lab Linux and have a healthy installation, there's no need to download these new ISO snapshots, which are intended only for users who want to deploy the GNU/Linux distribution on new computers. You can keep your Black Lab Linux system up to date if you install all the updates from the main repositories.
