Linux Lite 5.4 RC1 officially released, based on Ubuntu 20.04.2

Posted on

Linux Lite 5.4 RC1 was officially launched today. Lite 5.4 is based on Ubuntu 20.04.2, using Linux kernel 5.4.0-66, but there are other kernels to choose from.

Since Windows 7 is no longer supported, users are faced with a difficult problem: they must decide whether to take the risk to use Windows 7 without Microsoft’s security support, or to upgrade to Windows 10 that consumes more device resources.

Facts have proved that there are still a large number of users sticking to the old system. But now there is a better choice: just change the operating system to Linux.

Linux-based operating systems will be able to obtain sufficient security and driver support, and most systems will run well on older hardware.

The Linux Lite released today is one of the most suitable Linux distributions for users who switch from Windows to Linux because it is a lightweight and modern distribution of Linux. The most important thing is that most users can easily get started.

This new version of Linux Lite comes with some commonly used software packages, like Firefox 85.0.1, Thunderbird 78.10.0, LibreOffice 6.4.6.2, VLC 3.0.9.2, and GIMP 2.10.18. In addition, its aesthetics are also very good, it utilizes the adapt a windows theme, Papirus icon, and Papirus font, and also comes with ten wallpapers.

It should be noted that this is only a release candidate version, not the final version. Nevertheless, users do not have to worry too much about stability. Of course, users who are skeptical can also wait for the final version to be released before making a decision.
