Sculpt OS 22.04 Release Candidate (RC)

[Christian Helmuth]

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
