• The ability to create subsections of the BtrFS file system during OS installation, which uses the copy-on-write method for all files, which ensures fault tolerance and ease of administration of the operating system.
• Optimized backup functionality. Added an automatic disk layout profile for Timeshift, which is designed to regularly automatically create "snapshots" (copies) of system files and settings. In the event of a system failure, system files are restored, and user data remains up to date if they have not been damaged.
• Secure OS update (when using the BtrFS file system). Before installing the update, the OS prompts you to restart the computer with automatic backup (recovery point). If the update fails, the OS rolls back to the saved copy and starts Discover Application Center.

OS "Alt Workstation K 9"

On June 23, 2020, BASEALT announced the release of an updated version of the Alt Workstation K 9 operating system for automated workplaces. This is an OS with a Plasma interface that makes it easy to master its functionality. The updated version expands the OS capabilities for managing the working environment, provides stable and safe operation of applications with high-resolution graphics, and enhances security and system management.

The Alt Workstation K 9 OS is a complex mechanism that is easy and convenient for anyone to use. The operating environment of the OS is intuitive in operation. The user can independently configure the working environment, turning the OS into a personal tool for work, communication and leisure. The updated OS can be included in import substitution programs - this is the version of the Alt Workstation OS, which is included in the Unified Register of Russian Software, " noted' Alexey Novodvorsky, Deputy General Director of BASEALT

The Alt Workstation K 9 OS distribution is available for the x86_64 hardware platform (Intel 64-bit). According to the developer, users of this OS received the following features.

• Use of current cryptoalgorithms-, corresponding to the Russian GOSTs. This makes it possible, for example, to take into account the requirements of GOST when calculating passwords users' hashes. The essence of hashing is to data file encrypt any array (password, executable programs, text, etc.) in the form of a fixed-length string consisting of letters and numbers. Enciphering is performed using special mathematical algorithms. This allows you to store, for example, not a sample password, but its hash, that is, a numeric-letter equivalent. When entering a password, its hash is recalculated each time and compared with the reference one. If the user made a mistake in at least one character, the hashes will not match, and the user will not receive access to the resource. It is impossible to determine the original string by hash, so no one except the user knows the password, even. Having system administrator a hash as a reference sample, one can check the integrity of the data that is transmitted through. Internet The hash function is used to protect VPN the -tunels - "bridges" between the user's device and. server Information is transmitted through such a tunnel in the form of packets. Their integrity is monitored by creating hashes of packet headers - they are also calculated using GOST algorithms. For enciphering in accordance with domestic GOSTs, the updated OS version uses the Streebog function. It was developed by Russian from Team programmers Alt Linux and is included in the standard version of the kernel. Linux
• Use an NVIDIA CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) graphics card to solve complex computing problems that require graphical representation of the progress and results of calculations. Computers with NVIDIA CUDA use scientific research institutes, pharmaceutical and oil companies, banks. For example, to build dynamic models of proteins, develop new drugs, process computed tomography data, study fluid dynamics, analyze seismic activity, create 3D images, build risk models of the behavior of financial markets and many others. The capabilities of NVIDIA CUDA are also useful for users who process large streams of high-resolution video on their home computer. The graphics card acts as a graphics coprocessor. It works in tandem with the main processor, which allows parallelizing data processing. This gives a result in the speed of solving complex computational problems and allows you to visualize their intermediate and final results. The Alt Workstation K 9 OS supports three generations of proprietary NVIDIA CUDA drivers, along with free counterparts. This ensures the stability of graphics applications and the ability to use both new and old computers.
• Play complex graphics and high-resolution videos without delay or disruption. The updated version of the Alt Workstation K 9 OS includes OpenGL and Vulkan libraries. They allow you to use all the computing capabilities of your computer for hardware graphics acceleration, including 3D. Movies, videos, games with complex graphics are played with improved quality.
• Working on a computer with a high-resolution monitor. Alt Workstation K 9 OS is optimized for HiDPI (Hi Dots Per Inch) monitors. These are screens with a high pixel density: more than 160 per square inch of work surface. As a rule, operating systems with such monitors require manual configuration, Alt Workstation K 9 is an operating system where this option works out of the box. The OS automatically calibrates all interface elements for display on the HiDPI monitor.
• Creating thematic rooms - a convenient user workspace, where everything you need is "at hand." The user can independently create rooms for different activities: for example, to work on a project, communicate in several social networks, and learn. He places files, applications, widgets, virtual desktops in the room and configures its design. Unlike a virtual desktop, the room does not disappear when closed. It can be activated at any time and continue to work with the desired set of software and data.
• Operation of the Alt Workstation K 9 OS from a USB drive without installing it on a computer hard drive. The OS flash drive can be used as a portable workplace. Free space on the media is available for recording user data: certificates of electronic keys, third-party applications, electronic documents, etc.
• The connection of the computer with Androidsmartphone-. This feature is provided by KDE the Connect application included in the distribution of the updated OS. The user can, for example, connect laptop to, to the TV start a movie and control the show using (smartphone stop video, rewind, etc.).

Alto Workstation 9 OS

On October 28, 2019, BASEALT announced the release of three products version 9.0 based on the Ninth ALT Platform (p9 Vaccinium): Alt Workstation 9, Alt Server 9, Alt Education 9. When creating distributions of Alt OS version 9.0 for a wide range of hardware platforms, Alt OS developers focused on the needs of corporate customers, educational institutions and individuals.

As noted in BASEALT, one of the main trends in the modern development of computer technology is the variety of hardware platforms, including in Russia, where there are its own developments in processor architectures. Workstations and servers based on Russian processors are in demand in the public sector, in the field of education and healthcare, in large businesses and law enforcement agencies - in all organizations that implement large-scale import substitution programs.

According to the developer, domestic operating systems are available simultaneously for seven Russian and foreign hardware platforms. Alt OS runs on the following processors:

• Alt Workstation 9 for x86 (Intel 32 and 64-bit), AArch64 (NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer kit, Raspberry Pi 3 and others), e2k and e2kv3 (Elbrus), mipsel (Tavolga Terminal).
• Alt Server 9 for x86 (32 and 64 bits), AArch64 (Huawei Kunpeng, ThunderX and others), ppc64le (YADRO Power 8 and 9, OpenPower), e2k and e2kv3 (Elbrus).
• Alt Education 9 for x86 (Intel 32 and 64 bit), AArch64 (NVIDIA Jetson Nano Developer kit, Raspberry Pi 3 and others).

Packages included in the listed distributions are assembled for all architectures directly on the processors of this architecture, without cross-compilation. This significantly reduces the risk of abnormal situations during the operation of the operating system by consumers, according to BASEALT.

"With the release of distributions of Alt OS version 9.0, consumers were able to choose one or more hardware platforms, taking into account the specifics of their needs, and install the corresponding operating system from the updated version of the Alt line on all computers. For example, data centers are interested in implementing servers based on Huawei Kunpeng processors. Government agencies - in the translation of IT infrastructures to Russian hardware. For private users, educational institutions and small businesses, inexpensive but productive single-board computers become an interesting alternative to desktops and laptops. With the advent of specialized versions of Alt OS, such computers can be seamlessly built into a local network running a Linux-like operating system. In addition, platforms based on ARM and MIPS processors are beginning to be actively used in robotics and Internet of Things devices, " noted' Alexey Novodvorsky, Deputy General Director of BASEALT

In the near future, "BASEALT" is the release of the distribution kit "Alt Server B 9." The beta version of the product as of October 2019 already exists and is available for testing. The distribution will work on x86 (32 and 64-bit), AArch64 (Baikal-M, Huawei Kunpeng), ppc64le (YADRO Power 8 and 9, OpenPower) platforms. Alt Workstation K distributions with KDE and Simply Linux for home users are also being prepared for release for different hardware platforms.

Users of distributions built on the Eighth Platform (p8) can update the system from the p9 branch of the Sisyphus repository. For new corporate users, it is possible to obtain test versions, and private users are traditionally offered to download the desired version of Alt OS for free from the BASEALT website or from the download site getalt.ru.

According to the developer's statement, in addition to expanding the spectrum of hardware platforms, a number of other significant changes have been implemented for Alt OS distributions version 9.0:

• apt (advanced packaging tool, system for installing, updating and removing software packages) has support for rpmlib (FileDigests), which will allow installing third-party packages (Yandex Browser, Chrome and others) without repackaging, and many other updates;
• LibreOffice office suite is implemented in two versions: Still for corporate customers and Fresh for experimenters and advanced users;
• A single samba package is available (for normal desktops and for Active Directory domain controllers)
• The Application Center (an analogue of Google Play) is available in distributions, in which you can search for the desired free program from different categories (educational, office, working with multimedia, etc.) and install it on your computer;
• support of current GOST algorithms is implemented.

As of October 2019, work on porting Alt OS distributions to updated hardware platforms continues. In particular, it is planned to release versions for systems on Baikal-M and Raspberry Pi 4.

OS Alt Workstation K 8.3

On May 30, 2019, BASEALT announced the release of a version of the Alt Workstation K 8.3 operating system for use in the workplace. Changes have been made to enhance the ability of users and system administrators to install and work with the system. The presented version of the system provides advanced capabilities for managing computer resources and peripheral equipment, enhanced security and a more comfortable user environment.

"Enterprises and organizations are interested in a stable and secure operating system as the basis of the corporate IT infrastructure. The presented release "Alt Workstation K 8.3" meets the needs of users and allows you to equip workplaces with a convenient and high-performance operating system. " ' Alexey Smirnov, General Director of BASEALT

Improve hardware support. Operating system must work with a wide range of computer and peripheral technology so that the organization can easily integrate it into the already used IT-infrastructure. Therefore, BASEALT has expanded the functionality of Alt Workstation K 8.3 in terms of equipment support. It is possible to install the OS without a hardware keyboard on systems with 32-bit EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface, the interface between the operating system and firmware that controls low-level hardware functions). Added automatic type detection virtual machine during installation. Improved support for video adapters, and Intel. AMD NVidia Added drivers for some - WiFi adapters, Realtek noted in "BASEALT."

Control of RAM. The possibility of unexpected full filling of the RAM of office computers is a potential risk of staff slowdown and a decrease in the efficiency of the organization as a whole. A special KDE module developed by BASEALT will help solve the problem of rational use of memory resources to prevent a situation of overflow of RAM, the developer says.

Installation on LVM and LUKS. During the preparation of Alt Workstation K 8.3, a number of tools were redesigned for the rational use of disk space. It is possible to install the operating system on logical LVM volumes, which allows you to change the size of the disk space required for its operation, without binding to the physical size of the hard disk partitions. This change is aimed at improving the efficiency of system administrators and optimizes the life cycle of the operating system. According to BASEALT, the operating system installation toolkit for encrypted system partitions (LUKS) included in the OS creates reliable data protection against someone else's interference.

Entropy service. According to the developer, when creating the presented version of the OS, special attention is paid to security issues. One of the key additions is the default entropy filling service, which allows you to use modern software and hardware entropy generators in the early stages of launching the operating system. This accelerates the operation of the operating system when it is used as a virtual machine in the VDI infrastructure.

Updated software versions. Changes in Alt Workstation K 8.3: kernel Linux updated to version 4.19.33 LTS, which has improved disk file and network subsystems, expanded functions virtualizations and security, and improved drivers for various devices. 4.2 is enabled WINE - win32- startup environment. applications The office suite LibreOffice has been updated to version 6.

Improved translations. The interaction of the user with the system largely depends on the friendliness of its interface. Alt Workstation K 8.3 has improved translations of the help and interface of applications into Russian by the team of translators of BASEALT.

According to the developer, there are many other visual and useful improvements in the system. For example, the distribution includes the chrony service, which allows you to synchronize the clock of your local computer with accurate time servers connected to the Internet. Improved the operation of many KDE applications, navigating help topics and searching by bookmarks, etc.
