LXLE

LXLE è una semplice e leggera distribuzione Linux per desktop basata su Lubuntu e utilizzante il desktop enviroment LXDE. LXLE si basa unicamente sulla versione long term (TLS) ed è pensata per il riutilizzo del vecchio hardware.

Versione 14.04.1/12.04.4

Questa versione contiene (in Inglese):

• Panel and menu layout adjustments were made to encourage checking for updates in addition to the automatically installed security updates.
• Gnome 2 (G2) Paradigm has been corrected, in the last release an oversight of the bottom panel was not transparent by default, now fixed.
• Bash has been updated with all the latest security adjustments available.
• Desktop Pager has been updated to allow movement of programs between active desktops and show icons of open windows.
• 32bit ‘printscreen’ keyboard omission/error has been corrected to reflect the 14.04 version.
• 64bit double network icon in the panel was fixed as well, this was due to a upstream bug in nm-applet and lxsession.
• BlueTooth pairing bug fixed and updated through the LXLE PPA.
• Arista Trancoder issue corrected using backported gstreamer codec.
• Brightness control has been updated to auto config per machine.
• Additional monitor settings tool to better support stubborn hardware.
• uTox, a tox client, replaced Linphone to provide an easy to use/private alternative to Skype. It was also backported to support 12.04.5.
• BitSync was replaced with Syncthing (now pulse) to provide an opensource alternative to cloudless file sharing among devices.
• PhotoPrint was added to provide a quick easy way to print photos which garners some nice image tools to customize different print options.
• SystemBack was added allowing users to back up their desktop, create a custom version of their system and a way to go back to previous states of the OS.
• Editor note: xZoom is a strange zoom tool provided with LXLE, to use it simply ‘click and hold’ within its window and move your cursor to any area you want to zoom in on, this was a common question.
• All system software and end user software has been updated to their latest stable version.
