News from the ZID: Desk­top Linux plat­form to be replaced

The desktop Linux platform LPCCS will be replaced by “Windows Subsystem for Linux” (WSL) from summer 2025 onwards.

The previous LPCCS dual-boot system (Linux/Windows), which offered users the opportunity to use the Linux platform in addition to the Windows operating system, will be replaced in the winter semester 2025/2026.

Therefore, the GNU/Linux environment based on WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux), which has been tested and known over the past 2 years, will be rolled out in the classrooms. This environment is functionally identical to the previous native environment and is still based on Rocky Linux, so that the changeover is as comfortable as possible for users.

We look forward to receiving further feedback and experiences, and will be happy to implement useful suggestions for improvements and changes. You are welcome to contact us at the telephone number and e-mail address provided.

Further information on the LPCCS Linux system is linked here.
