Hello community,
today we published a Release Candidate of the Sculpt operating system for x86-PC. During the last months we worked hard to apply our reimagined Linux-device-driver environment also to PC devices and updated drivers for USB, Wifi, and Intel graphics to a recent Linux kernel version. This opens the prospect to support new PC platforms (speak recent notebook devices) more easily in future releases.
The upcoming version of Sculpt replaces multiple integral device drivers at once. For this reason, we concluded to pre-release an RC and invite all Sculpt users to test it in their current setups. Please feel to report back any regression, flaw, or oddity on this list or the issue tracker over the next couple of days, so we can address them before the final release.
The release candidate is based on the current master branch

and can be downloaded as ready-to-use disk image from

Happy testing

I tested the new release over the weekend on my T460p.
I both used wired and wireless networking to download packages.
When I used wireless to update the Linux running the wireless connection went down in the middle of transferring data. I was only able to bring it back up after restarting the WiFi driver. When this happened downloading of package archives in sculpt also failed. This could be related to #4083.
Otherwise everything worked flawless for me, and I have already updated the built in disk with this new version.
Best regards, Pirmin
