Stay ahead of the game with SparkyLinux 2019.09
The Debian-based SparkyLinux operating system has just released its newest and most advanced rolling version yet! Based on the upcoming Debian GNU/Linux 11 “Bullseye” OS, SparkyLinux 2019.09 is fully updated and synchronized with the testing repositories, making it a powerful and stable choice for tech enthusiasts.
But what makes this release even more exciting is the inclusion of the highly anticipated Xfce 4.14 desktop environment. This is the first Debian-based distribution to feature this updated desktop environment, giving users a glimpse of its latest features and enhancements.
However, it’s important to note that upgrading to Xfce 4.14 may result in some desktop settings being lost, such as the wallpaper. But not to worry, as these can easily be manually set again after restarting the system.
Another significant change in SparkyLinux 2019.09 is the switch to GCC 9 as the default system compiler. This version no longer contains GCC 8, as it has been completely removed.
In addition to the Xfce edition, SparkyLinux 2019.09 also offers an LXQt edition with the latest LXQt 0.14.1 desktop environment. Plus, there are MinimalCLI and MinimalGUI editions available, with the latter featuring the Openbox 3.6.1 window manager by default. All editions run on the powerful Linux 5.2.9 kernel.
For advanced users, SparkyLinux 2019.09 also offers the option to install new kernels from the unstable repositories. The latest Linux 5.2.11 and Linux 5.3 RC6 kernels are available for installation, allowing you to customize your system according to your specific needs.
And that’s not all. The Firefox ESR web browser has been replaced with the latest version, and the Calamares 3.2.13 graphical installer now correctly sets the home partition on non-root partitions with no-formatting option. These updates and improvements make SparkyLinux 2019.09 a must-have for any tech enthusiast.
If you’re ready to experience the power and efficiency of SparkyLinux 2019.09, you can download the Xfce, LXQt, MinimalGUI, and MinimalCLI editions right now from our free software portal. Existing users can easily upgrade to this version by running a full system update.
