Third Harvest
Released 24 September 2026
· ISO Sweetpotatos_2026.10_Third_Harvest.iso
· Files folder 2026.10_Third_Harvest
- Tuber replaced Transmission for torrents (
Mod+t) — light terminal BitTorrent client; magnet clicks hand off to the open session. Existing installs pick it up with sweetpotatos-update once the package is on the channel (Transmission is replaced).
- Brave Origin became the default browser (
Mod+w), replacing Firefox on new installs.
- Mod+Tab workspace overview (all desktops); hold Super and drag windows between them. Plain click zooms back in.
- Mod+Shift+Tab overview of windows on the current desktop.
- Mod+? floating keybind cheatsheet (toggle), with a login tip that points at it every session.
- Mod+a floating toggle.
- Mod+Escape (same as
Mod+o) power off.
- Mod+Up / Mod+Down follow the visual stack (higher workspaces sit below).
- Default wallpaper is SpoNeon (neon tuber art); UsefulBinds / BindsBG are no longer shipped.
sweetpotatos-update also refreshes shipped wallpapers into ~/Pictures/Wallpapers without changing your active waypaper choice.
- Spore ships a few default favorite radio stations on first launch (SomaFM Groove Salad Classic, SomaFM Drone Zone, Echoes of Bluemars, Cryosleep, Ambient Sleeping Pill). On the Favorites tab,
r removes a favorite.
- Rolling desktop updates from now on: installed systems pull theme / Swirl / SPO package fixes with
sudo sweetpotatos-update (GitHub [sweetpotatos] channel). New Harvest ISOs are for fresh installs only — you no longer need a new point-release ISO just to stay current on the desktop.
- Durable user overrides at
~/.config/swirl/config.d/user (loaded last; never overwritten by updates). Put custom binds and rules there; reload with Mod+Shift+c. See the project home page for a short guide.
