SparkyLinux 3.4: Your Lightweight, Fast and Simple Solution for Both New and Old Computers
If you’re in search of a powerful and versatile Linux distribution built to suit the needs of both new and old computers, look no further – SparkyLinux 3.4 is here!
Featuring customized LXDE, e17, and Razor-Qt desktops, SparkyLinux 3.4 “Annagerman” boasts a user-friendly, lightweight design that guarantees a smooth and efficient experience for all users.
A Familiar System, Enhanced Performance
Based on Debian GNU/Linux “Jessie”, SparkyLinux 3.4 stays true to the series’ reputation for speedy and efficient performance – but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t brought anything new to the table.
In fact, SparkyLinux 3.4 has received major updates, particularly in its desktop environments. The latest release now includes the most recent versions of LXDE (0.5.5-6), Razor-Qt (0.5.2-4), and Enlightenment (E18) for even smoother and more fluid usability.
Optimized for New Hardware
One of the most exciting changes in SparkyLinux 3.4 is the update to the advanced Linux kernel version 3.14 – meaning this distro is a solid choice for those looking to test new hardware.
And while SparkyLinux has always been known for being lightweight, it now includes even more installation options for users with varying needs. For EFI machines, the option to install via systemd is now available, and the repository list has been split into separate sections for Debian and additional packages.
Old Versions Still Available
Just because SparkyLinux 3.4 has brought some fresh and exciting updates, doesn’t mean the old installer is being discarded. In fact, both installers are still available and can even be run directly from the terminal:
“sudo sparkylinux-installer”
For a graphical interface, type:
“sudo sparkylinux-installer gui”
Enhanced User Experience
Among the developers’ top priorities in SparkyLinux 3.4 was user experience, which is why they’ve made various updates and improvements throughout the system.
In addition to updating the LXDE desktop’s control center (Sparky Center) and the package management tool (Sparky APTus), the newest release now also allows users to remove pre-installed non-free and restricted packages for a more customized experience. And to make things even smoother, missing language packages have been added.
