risiOS 36 Feature Drop 1 Release Notes
This is our first “Feature Drop”. Our way of showing off the stuff we’re working on when we just cannot wait for the next real release.
NOTE: This was originally published in September 3rd 2022.
Community Updates
Show off your risiSpirit (and more places to ask how to install Roblox).
Merch Drop
We are proud to announce risiOS T-shirts! Our first design is based on the highly controversial risiOS 36 Wallpaper.
This limited-edition design is available in our store now, starting at $20. Clear out your closet!
New designs will be available every 1–2 months! Get it now in the risiOS shop.
The Subreddit
For the redditors out there who just can’t crave orange button presses enough. We now have our own subreddit. Go on there and flex your new system colors (more on that later).
Forums
We also now have community forums to improve community engagement as well as to have a better archive of solutions to issues. Check it out.
New Features
Ricing at a whole new level, just ignore the part that says GNOME.
Accent Colors in risiTweaks
risiTweaks gained support for Accent Colors. You can pick between 7 beautiful colors:
Blue (Default), Green, Orange, Yellow, Red, Purple, and Brown.
Full editable colors in risiTweaks
If an accent color is not enough, risiTweaks also gained support for full color customization.
Every UI color can be edited freely. Make your system completely unusable to anyone but you!
New CLI tool for customizing theming (adwcolor)
If you are one of those show-off Linux users who likes doing everything from the terminal, the tool we made for changing window/accent colors has a terminal use. Just type adwcolor help to get started.
Nobara Patches in the Gaming risiScript
The Gaming Quick Setup risiScript now gives you the option to install Sentry Kernel (used in Nobara) as well as Nobara’s mesa-git and glibc patches. This should make risiOS a slightly better distro for gaming. Also if you haven’t already, check out the Nobara project.
EDIT: The Sentry kernel has since been removed due to it bricking systems.

Bug Fixes
