Nitrux 5.1 Drops Virtual Machine Support and Shifts Fully to Bare Metal

The Nitrux team has announced the release of Nitrux 5.1, an immutable, systemd-free Debian-based Linux distro that bets on AppImage-based software delivery and ships with Hyprland as its default desktop environment.

The main (and slightly surprising) change is that the project no longer supports running the distribution as a guest operating system in virtual machines. While Nitrux will still boot under most hypervisors, VM-specific components such as SPICE integration, the QXL X.Org driver, and Hyper-V modules have been removed.
