Before you know it... :)    I'm guessing its still slated for June 1... Haven't seen on here where it would be delayed - I'd guess we'd know here 1st if it was....

My advice is to get this RC and see if it does what you expect it to. Then report back to me with the results. But you'll have to be quick, we release in 2 days :)

Good question. Am setting aside today to install 5.0 LTS. Had tried a distro or three in the meantime,
and they were not Lite. So ready for 5.0. Glad somebody asked!

I'm looking at getting a new laptop so not ready yet. It is nice to see you added UEFI support.
I think you are doing a phenomenal job with the Xfce UI, I played with it a bit in a VM with the previous stable version. Thank you for your work!

Will this release support ZFS just like Ubuntu does?

Yes, but ZFS is for servers. You won't need it on a home pc.

Does the installer support it or do I have to install it after? I'd like to get root on ZFS too (this is what I had to do for 18.04 which is a lot of manual steps: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Ubuntu/Ubuntu%2018.04%20Root%20on%20ZFS.html)

I find it very useful on a laptop to take snapshots (plus Ubuntu now can take snapshots before installing packages for easy rollback, via zsys: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/03/ubuntu-20-04s-zsys-adds-zfs-snapshots-to-package-management/)
It is also useful to send laptop *incremental* backups (snapshots) to a ZFS server (using zfs send|receive).
True these are advanced features but they are very useful if familiar with ZFS (I've been using it for over 6 yrs).

i read somewhere that adobe flash player will no longer be supported December 31-2020.

will adobe flash be included in the final release of Linux lite 5.0 and beyond ?.............

Yes it will since it is still supported. It is likely that in the 5.2 release, it will be removed.

Menu, Accessories, Fonts - may crash or freeze first time, then maybe do the same the next 1 or 2 times. Can take a while to eventually load. Appears to settle after that.

1st time - crash
2nd time - freeze
3rd time - crash
4th time - Seems to be fine.
After a reboot, it froze the 1st time and worked the second.

@WytWun thanks for the report. As for 'duplicates' if it were a problem in eg. LibreOffice Word, I'd address it. One of each is displayed in Office. Like software, there are different revisions of fonts, one could be from 2016, the other from 2019. I'll go through them on a rainy day and remove the older ones, at the moment a few 100kb with not have an adverse affect on the system, as such it's not a priority. That's the current rationalisation.
