Ferdinand Thommes announced today the release of siduction 2021.3 as the third and last major update in 2021 to this desktop-oriented GNU/Linux distribution based on Debian Unstable (Sid).

Dubbed “Wintersky,” siduction 2021.3 comes about five months after the 2021.2 update and brings some interesting changes, such as the use of PipeWire as default sound system, replacing PulseAudio and JACK, as well as the iNet Wireless Daemon (iwd) for handling Wi-Fi networks on the KDE Plasma, LXQt, and Xfce editions, replacing wpa_supplicant.

As a matter of fact, siduction 2021.3 only comes with KDE Plasma, LXQt, and Xfce editions as live media, alongside the standard Xorg (uses the Fluxbox window manager) and noX (text-mode only) editions, as the development team decided to drop support for the Cinnamon, LXDE, and MATE editions due to lack of time.

I started using ApttoSid in 2008, moved to Sidux now for the last 4 years or so Siduction. All of these are rolling distros with a clean upgrade path to Sid. all I needed to do to change from one to the other was edit the repository list. Did a clean install last year, vary nice installer. Siduction provides the kernels I'm currently using 5.15-10.1 with 5.15.11-1 waiting. With that said this is not a distro for everyone.
