Highlights:
>"Dyne:bolic is a 100% Free Software Operating System for multimedia production, recommended by the Free Software Foundation. It is a live ISO that can run from a CD or Drive, without the need to install."

>"This is Free Software, share it for the good of yourself and the people around you, respect others and let them express, be free and let others be free. Live clean and let your work be seen! May you live a long and prosperous life in peace!"

>"We introduce a new user experience organized as different journeys into creativity, that we call workflows. Our desktop adopts KDE 5 Plasma and its “Activities” to provide pre-sets for five specific workflows:
Streaming
Audio
Video
Graphics
Publishing"

Screenshots look very promising: https://fed.dyne.org/pictrs/image/d1864b4f-f026-4da0-b7ee-aa96e56cbbb8.png

Welcome back, Dynebolic. I just downloaded a live ISO (download was lightning fast), will follow up later with thoughts on how it runs.

Yeah, that's always nice to see since we can still pretty much count the (official) libre distros on two hands. So now I'm holding out hope that another one of their dormant projects, HEADS, will emerge from the ashes as well - that one was nice!

I wondered if there was a libre version of Tails, but it did not occur to me to search for the opposite of tails (heads).

You can see a bit about how beautiful Dynebolic looks in the video.
