Zena ISO Update (20260302)
Hey everyone, just pushed the latest ISO for Zena (20260302).
This one feels like a big step forward, mostly because I finally tackled some of the "annoying" stuff that’s been sitting on my to-do list forever.
The highlight
MangoWC is in. It’s officially supported now. I ended up writing a dedicated user service to handle the setup and integration so it’s not just "installed" but actually works out of the box with dms. It took more tinkering than I expected, but it’s solid now.
The "Quality of Life" stuff
First Boot Wizard
I finally built a proper GUI setup wizard. It makes the first five minutes of the OS feel like a real product instead of a dev experiment. (Uploaded a video below of how it looks).
The SELinux Headache
If you’ve used Zena before and had systemd-homed lose its mind after a hard reboot... sorry about that. It was a regression in the SELinux policy. I’ve hammered that out, so it should be much more resilient to sudden power-offs now.
Under the hood
I did a massive refactor of the codebase. It’s way more modular now. Part of the goal with Zena is to make image-making easier for others, and the old code was getting in the way of that. It’s much cleaner if you want to poke around the GitHub.
Anyway, it's live at zena-linux.github.io. If you give it a spin, let me know if the wizard actually works for you or if I missed a edge case.
