The skilled developers behind the renowned Debian-based operating system, SparkyLinux, have just announced the latest release of their revolutionary software, SparkyLinux 5.4. This highly-anticipated update is now available for download, and it promises to surpass all expectations and outshine its competitors with its impeccable performance and user-friendly interface.
Based on Debian GNU/Linux 10 “Buster” operating system, which is expected to be officially launched in mid-2019, the SparkyLinux 5.4 update comes only three months after the release of SparkyLinux 5.3 in March 2018. Part of the SparkyLinux 5 “Nibiru” rolling series, this latest version is exclusively available in three different editions – LXQt, MinimalGUI, and MinimalCLI.
“Sparky 5.4 brings you a complete package of an advanced operating system with a lightweight LXQt desktop environment, as well as minimal images of MinimalGUI (Openbox) and MinimalCLI (text mode). This allows you to have the base system installed and then choose your preferred desktop with a minimal set of applications, all thanks to the impressive Sparky Advanced Installer,” the official announcement reads.
So, what’s new in SparkyLinux 5.4? This update boasts all the latest package and security updates from the Debian Testing, aka Debian Buster, software repositories, as of June 10, 2018. It also comes with the default Linux 4.16.12 kernel, which can be easily upgraded to the most recent Linux kernel 4.17 from the unstable repos. The Calamares 3.1.12 installer and the xinit package, which includes the “startx” command, are also included in this version.
But that’s not all – the SparkyLinux 5.4 update introduces a brand new tool called Sparky Dashboard to the Tint2 panel in the MinimalGUI edition. This unique feature allows users to easily view and launch all installed applications in YAD-based full-screen windows. Additionally, the LXterminal terminal emulator from LXDE has replaced XTerm in this version, and the appearance of the Tint2 panel in the MinimalGUI edition has been revamped for a more modern look and feel.
When it comes to software selection, SparkyLinux 5.4 includes some exciting new additions and replacements. Users can now enjoy the latest Mozilla Firefox 60.0.2 ESR web browser in the LXQt edition, which has replaced Clementine music player with the more modern and efficient Yarock, based on Qt 5. To improve the overall browsing experience, the Midori web browser has been replaced with Otter Browser. And to optimize performance and security, GKSu, OpenJDK, and the Java web plugin have been removed.
