Version 4.4, 64-bit Dunfell-series, brings lots of little fixes and enhancements. Plus, a big-ticket item; apps now able to run in containers as user “spot”, an extra security layer above “crippled root”.
As this is the Dunfell-series, almost completely compiled from source in “meta-quirky” (OpenEmbedded), the package repository is small compared with mainstream Linux distributions; however, this situation is being greatly ameliorated by additional SFS mega-packages — with more to come.
