Release Announcement

Linux Lite 4.2 Beta is now available for testing.

This release has a number of minor changes. Think of it as 'refinement' and not a 'major upgrade'. There are some new wallpapers thanks to @whateverthing and some minor tweaks here and there.







Lite Welcome

Minor changes.

Help Manual

The Help Manual will be updated for 4.2 in the Final.

Kernel: 4.15.0-34.37 (custom kernels also available via our Repository for versions 3.13 - 4.18)

LibreOffice: 6.0.6.2
VLC: 3.0.3
Gimp: 2.10.6

Known Issues:

Is the slow boot fixed on some computers? That has yet to be tested. I have done some 'under the hood' work on this, but of course, we need testing on real hardware on an array of different computer configs to know for sure.

There is no upgrade to or from Beta releases. Beta releases are for testing only and it is not recommended to run them as your main or secondary operating system.
