New Features

Add detection for the pid_max parameter

Users can view the pid_max parameter on the Linux side by using a command to check the pid_max parameter.

sudo sysctl -a |grep pid_max 

The manual modification method for the pid_max parameter:

sudo vim /etc/sysctl.conf 

Currently, OpenFDE can only operate in environments where the number of processes does not exceed 65535. This means that if a user modifies the pid_max parameter to a value greater than 65535, it may lead to an error when starting OpenFDE. When attempting to start OpenFDE via a shortcut on the Linux side, an error message will be displayed, and there will also be an error log entry in /var/log/fde.log.

Add new right-click functionality to the desktop

• When right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop, options to create a new folder and a new document are supported.

• When a file or folder on the desktop is selected, right-clicking on it allows for options such as opening, copying, cutting, renaming, deleting, and other operations to be performed on the file.

Add pre-installed software feature to the boot-up wizard

During the initial installation of OpenFDE, the boot-up wizard introduces a new feature of pre-installing commonly used software, making it convenient for users to use immediately after booting up.

Add regional screenshot functionality

Users can activate the regional screenshot function using the Ctrl + Alt + Shift + S shortcut key to precisely capture the desired screenshot.
