Roadmap

This page separates what is shipping from what is planned. Dates are targets, not promises.

Now shipping: 1.7.0 "Umbra"

• Debian-testing/KDE Plasma 6 creative workstation.
• Calamares installer, Umbra visual identity, signed ISO, signed APT repo.
• Local AI setup through Ollama/Open-WebUI and a hardware-aware model picker.
• Creative app baseline for 2D, photo, video, audio, 3D, documents, and developer work.

Next release focus

• Sharper first-run Welcome flow and clearer local-AI model recommendations.
• Installer and post-install diagnostics that produce better bug reports.
• More hardware notes from real tester installs.
• NVIDIA/hybrid laptop documentation improvements.
• Website trust layer: hardware, security, FAQ, known issues, and verification pages kept current.

Near-term targets

• Reviewer kit with screenshots, press brief, verification commands, hardware notes, and known issues.
• Directory submissions for Linux discovery sites.
• Demo videos showing boot, install, local AI, creative tools, and update path.
• Community feedback loop: collect install reports, update known issues, cut the next ISO from actual problems.

Later, after the basics are boring

• Secure Boot signing path.
• More reproducible build documentation.
• Expanded hardware test matrix.
• Better disaster recovery and rollback guidance.
