Linux Lite è una distribuzione Linux per i principianti basata su Ubuntu LTS e utilizzante il desktop manager Xfce per mantenere l’ambiente leggero.

Versione 4.0

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

This release marks the beginning of Series 4.x Codename Diamond.

The main changes in Linux Lite Series 4.x include a new icon and system theme, Timeshift for system backups, Shotwell to manage and perform basic edits on images, MenuLibre to manage menu entries, new Lite applications including Lite Desktop that manages common icons on the Desktop, Lite Sounds to manage system wide sounds, and many of our existing applications have been updated.

See below for all the changes:

– Minimum recommended specs have been raised slightly to more realistic levels (RAM, CPU).
– There are no more 32bit ISO releases. If you still require a 32bit OS due to hardware limitations, Series 3.x is supported through to April 2021.
– XFCE Pulseaudio plugin, has been added to the system tray for highly customizable options regarding volume management.
– Full disk encryption now replaces home encryption in the installer (an Ubuntu implementation).
– The new boot splash also shows you the password field in GUI for encrypted partitions.
– Ubuntu no longer offers an opportunity to set a swap partition. A swap file is now automatically created for you which is a maximum of 2gb or 5% of free disk space (an Ubuntu implementation).
