There are new iso images of Sparky 2024.08 Special Editions out there: GameOver, Multimedia and Rescue. It is based on Debian testing “Trixie”.
The August update of Sparky Special Edition iso images features Linux kernel 6.10, updated packages from Debian and Sparky testing repos as of August 18, 2024, and most changes introduced at the 2024.08 release.
The Linux kernel is 6.10.3, and there are 6.10.5, 6.6.46-LTS, 6.1.105-LTS, 5.15.164-LTS in Sparky repos.
There is no need to reinstall Sparky rolling, simply keep Sparky up to date.

I have been using Sparky8 semirolling with Trixie and KDE Plasma on a former Chromebook (hp, i5m, 8GiB RAM) for months without any problems. Sparky (and Debian) are always up to date and I haven’t experienced any freezes or crashes.
Damn good distribution and good work!
