Discover the Latest SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” Rolling Images for Enhanced Performance and Top-notch Security
Attention all tech enthusiasts, the wait is over! A refreshed version of SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” Rolling Images has arrived, providing you with unmatched speed, premium features, and unbeatable security. Produced in July 2018, these images have now been integrated with the most recent software updates from the Debian Testing repositories, ensuring you have the latest and greatest tools at your disposal.
The new SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” Rolling images boast seamless synchronization with the remarkable software repositories of Debian Testing (soon to be known as Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster”) as of September 17, 2018. This means that the Linux 4.18.6 kernel, Calamares 3.2.1 installer, and GCC 8 system compiler are now included in this package, as the outdated GCC 7 has been entirely eliminated.
“There’s no need to wait any longer, the new live/install iso images of SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” are readily available for download. The MinimalGUI/CLI live system has adopted Debian’s Linux kernel 4.18.6 as its default option. However, due to extended loading time for the desktop, the live system of LXQt comes equipped with Sparky’s Linux kernel 4.18.8 (for 32bit pae and 64bit amd64), along with Debian’s version,” reads the official release statement.
What Else Can You Expect from SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” Respins?
The SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” respins also come with a collection of exciting new packages such as Seahorse, rxvt-unicode (for Openbox users), FeatherPad, and qps (Qt process manager) designed specifically for LXQt users. Additionally, multiple packages such as XTerm terminal emulator (from the Openbox edition), Notepadqq, Leafpad, and LXTask have been eliminated.
Moreover, the ImageMagick, Vim, systemd-ui, libpam-gnome-keyring, and sparky-gexec packages have also been removed from all images. Furthermore, the latest release has disabled the Thunar daemon in the MinimalGUI (Openbox) edition due to compatibility issues with the automatic mounting feature of new partitions generated by the Calamares installer. Additionally, the Cryptsetup packages will now be removed by the Calamares installer if the system is not encrypted.
The SparkyLinux 5.5 “Nibiru” Rolling Respin ISO images are available for download as MinimalCLI, MinimalGUI (Openbox), and LXQt editions for both 64-bit and 32-bit architectures. These images are primarily intended for fresh installations, while existing users can simply update their systems by executing the following command in a terminal emulator:
