Key Changes

- The installer now provides a choice to enable LVFS (Linux Vendor 
Firmware Service) for convenient automatic BIOS and firmware updates, or 
to disable it for full manual control in critical environments.
- Snap support has been removed from the installation image, simplifying 
and stabilizing the core package management system.
- The packagekit-background service is enabled by default, 
pre-downloading packages to accelerate the system update process.
- Users in the wheel and netadmin groups can create system connections 
(Wi-Fi, VPN) for all users via the standard NetworkManager interface.
- Kdenlive now supports the universal OpenTimelineIO (OTIO) project 
format, enabling seamless collaboration with other video editors.
- Key KDE components are now safeguarded against accidental removal.
- Updated Desktop Environment KDE Plasma 6 suite (Plasma 6.4, Frameworks 
6.20, Gear 25.08).
- Updated Core Components (Mesa 25.1, NVIDIA Drivers 580, Qt 6.9).
