Published to every image tag (apex, daily, edge, gaming-mesa, gaming-nvidia, rime). All of them are the edge channel today. This page explains the release; it is never consulted by an update. What a machine installs is decided by the registry and the image signature (see Security). Machine-readable: 2026.10.11.2.json.

If something is wrong

Go back to the image you were running before this one. It becomes the default at the next boot; your files and settings stay as they are.

sudo rime rollback && sudo systemctl reboot

On an APEX-named system the command is apex. You can also pick the previous entry in the boot menu. More in Rolling back and Recovery.
