EasyOS Scarthgap-series version 6.5.6 released

The previous release, version 6.5.4.2, was released on January 12:

• EasyOS 6.5.4.2 released — January 12, 2025

Note that the Daedalus-series latest is 6.5.5. This is a separate build of EasyOS, built with Devuan DEB packages, whereas Scarthgap is built from packages compiled by me in OpenEmbedded.

If you are running Scarthgap 6.5.4.2 and happy with it, there is no need to update to 6.5.6; in fact, there could be new issues|problems with the kernel bump from 6.6.x to 6.12.x. This latest version has targeted working on a very recent laptop with Intel Ultra 7 CPU and integrated GPU. Highlights:

• EasyOS audio and video work on Zenbook S 13 — January 22, 2025
• Installing Linux Mint on Asus Zenbook S 13 — January 19, 2025
• Installing Linux on Asus Zenbook S 13 — January 17, 2025
