AvenorOS 1.0.1

AvenorOS 1.0.1 moves to a new base and adds a set of everyday tools.

What's new

• Now based on Ubuntu 26.04 LTS with KDE Plasma. No Snap.
• FrameFX Linux Beta11 is in the dock.
• Install App lets you pick which drive an app goes on.
• Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) shows CPU and GPU clock speeds, usage and temperatures, plus a process list.
• The start menu has Lock, Sign out, Sleep, Restart and Shut down.
• A Welcome app runs on first boot: Wi-Fi, drive choice and starter apps.
• Settings opens to a tiled home: Display, Network, Apps, Updates and Storage.
• One Updates screen covers system and app updates.
• One accent colour and one line-icon set across the system.

Upgrading from 1.0.0

1.0.0 was based on Arch, so 1.0.1 is a fresh install. It wipes the disk you install it on. Back up first.
