EasyOS Excalibur-series version 7.4.9 released

Oh wow, uploading took all day. I'm at a caravan park in rural Western Australia, that has free wifi. It is by StarLink, which is slower to upload than download. But this is incredible; started uploading the latest EasyOS, by sunset still only about halfway.

My phone contract is with Vodafone; however, Vodafone has poor coverage in rural regions. Whereas, Telstra has good rural coverage. I have a second phone with a Telstra sim, a prepaid sim, not a contract. Gave up on the wifi, did a 28-day recharge, 20GB, on the Telstra sim, AU$44, and finished the upload very fast. Telstra has 5G in this town.

Changes since 7.4.8:

• Audacious is back, more DE translations — September 16, 2026
• Fix system X cursor Chromium 151* — September 16, 2026
