SteamOS 3.9.5 Lands as First Stable Release With Linux 7.2 and KDE Plasma 6.7
Translated by a model; the original is in Russian.
On Friday, Valve shipped SteamOS 3.9.5, the first stable build in the SteamOS 3.9 series. The release promotes to the stable channel all the improvements that had previously been available only in preview form, alongside numerous package updates.
A Refreshed Foundation
SteamOS 3.9.5 pulls in an updated Arch Linux base. Among the notable changes is a jump for the desktop mode from KDE Plasma 6.4 to Plasma 6.7. The system now runs on the Linux 7.2 kernel.
What's New
Other significant additions include support for the Steam Frame wireless adapter and improved idle power consumption on the Steam Deck when no audio is playing. The SteamOS bootloader has been updated, and Wi-Fi now defaults to WPA_Supplicant.
The release also brings preliminary support for hibernation and better behaviour when running as a virtual machine guest, along with a variety of other fixes and refinements for Valve's gaming-focused Linux distribution.
Downloads and further details on this stable update are available via SteamPowered.com.
