What was in v3.14

Every headline feature, in one place.

Denali brought the full rewrite together: a solid installer, ANIX v1, and TinyPM v4, the foundation EVEREST 4.0 now builds on.

NixOS unstable base

Runs the latest NixOS unstable channel for cutting-edge packages and kernels.

ANIX v1

The human-friendly NixOS layer for system management, profiles, and rollbacks, configured via ANIX, not Abora config.

23 desktop environments

GNOME, KDE, Hyprland, Sway, COSMIC, Qtile, Openbox, MangoWM, and many more.

Flatpak + Flathub

First-class Flatpak support out of the box, with no manual setup.

Rebuilt installer

Omarchy-inspired TUI installer with compact boxed fields and live install progress.

TinyPM v4

First-class Abora/ANIX/NixOS-aware app manager, shipped in this release.

Update channels

Choose stable or unstable update channels, and swap between them whenever.

COSMIC added

COSMIC joined the supported desktop matrix in this release.

Under the hood

Runs NixOS unstable, safely.

Abora v3.14 tracks the NixOS unstable channel for the latest packages and kernels. Because the system is declarative and atomic, 'unstable' doesn't mean risky: every upgrade rolls back with one command.

Base channel
NixOS unstable
Upgrade model
