SparkyLinux 2022.03 VM Images Released for VirtualBox and VMware

SparkyLinux project released ‘SparkyLinux 2022.03’ based on Debian “Bookworm” branch: “Sparky 2022.03 of the (semi-)rolling line is out, which is based on Debian testing ‘Bookworm’. The new iso images provide: all packages upgraded; Linux kernel 5.16.11 (5.16.12 & 5.17-rc7 in sparky unstable repos); Calamares 3.2.53; Firefox 96.0.3 (firefox-sparky 98.0 & firefox-esr-sparky 91.7.0esr (Mozilla builds) available in Sparky repos); Thunderbird 91.6.1; LibreOffice 7.3.1 RC1; added a dock-like vala-panel with custom config which provides favorite apps launcher on the left side of your desktop (via ‘sparky-launcher’ package); small improvements. Known issues: the live system’s DNS is configured wrong on virtual machines so there is no internet, even the network manager applet says it works; to fix that, there is a small script which removes resolv.conf configured by ‘systemd-resolved’ and automatically reloads the resolv.conf with propper DNS via NetworkManager; the script called ‘sparky-firstrun-fix’ works in the live system only and the live installer removes it during post-install phase…” You can checkout complete release announcement here.
