Distribution Release: Semplice Linux 7 |
|
Eugenio Paolantonio has announced the release of Semplice Linux 7, a lightweight, Debian-based distribution that comes with a custom GTK+ 3-based desktop environment called "vera": "It's my pleasure to announce the release of Semplice 7, code-named 'Comfortably Numb'. Functionally and aesthetically-wise, you won't find that many differences from Semplice 6. But under the hood there are plenty. Openbox became a component of the desktop environment and not the desktop environment itself. This distinction will help me introduce vera, a plugin-based GTK+ 3 desktop environment, made from scratch by us. Currently Openbox and tint2 run as plugins, but they will eventually get replaced by our own ones. We are not fans of the NIH thing, but personally I feel that this is the right step to make in order to get things up and running on Wayland. Wayland is the future and it's actually already production-ready (I, for example, already run it in my phone, and it's pretty damn exciting)." Continue to the release announcement for more information, with additional details provided in the release notes. Download (MD5): semplice64_current-7_700.0.iso (653MB, pkglist). |

Development Release: Semplice Linux 7 Preview |
|
Eugenio Paolantonio has announced the availability of the first development build of Semplice Linux 7, a lightweight, Debian-based distribution that ships with a desktop environment called "Vera" built on top of the Openbox window manager: "It's my pleasure to announce the immediate release of Semplice 7-preview, code-named 'Comfortably Numb'. After long delays in the Semplice 7 cycle, we are now confident to make a preview release available to the general public. Although this release comes late in the development cycle, it's feature-packed and similar to the upcoming final version, but there are still some rough edges that we need to polish. This preview snapshot ships with the latest 'sid' as of 2014-11-27 and Linux kernel 3.17.2. New features include our new Vera desktop environment (with a new control center), PulseAudio enabled by default, Chromium replaced by Iceweasel, a desktop launcher and an interactive tutorial."
