Development Release: LXLE 18.04.3 Beta |
|
LXLE is an easy-to-use lightweight desktop Linux distribution based on Lubuntu and featuring the LXDE desktop environment. The project has published a new development release, based on Lubuntu 18.04 LTS. "LXLE 18.04.3 Beta is now available in 64-bit or 32-bit versions. This one was a long time coming as my life got very busy with the new addition to the family. News themes had to be tracked down as the updates to GTK broke the old ones yet again. The distro has been slimmed down considerably, removing some of the more infrequently used programs. Many versions of LXLE with a localized SearX search engine were built but was abandoned due to memory use. More polish has gone into Seamonkey along with fixing annoying interface issues, additional bookmarklets and security has been enhanced. Seamonkey remains the default browser due to its memory use, speed and additional components. It's awesome. The terminal weather remains although they seem to be running out of queries often which may need addressed." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.

Ronnie Whisler has announced the availability of LXLE 16.04.1, a new major release from the distribution project that builds a lightweight Ubuntu-based variant with LXDE as the default desktop. This is the distribution's first stable release based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: "LXLE 16.04.1 'Eclectica' released. LXLE is built upon Ubuntu Mini LTS releases. Lubuntu core is used as a starting point. This version is based on 16.04.1. All software has been updated to their latest stable versions available for Ubuntu 16.04.1. Added PPAs ensure up-to-date applications of some of the most popular software, such as LibreOffice. Overall the applications have been streamlined and slimmed down, even with the inclusion of three small Assistive Technology programs, like a magnifier and onscreen keyboard. This version of LXLE was pretty difficult. A number of GNOME applications had to be replaced with their MATE twin applications to maintain a consistent user interface. Programs and solutions had to come from many different sources. A very eclectic OS, hence the name, Eclectica." See the complete release announcement for more information and screenshots.

Distribution Release: LXLE 14.04.4 |
|
LXLE is a lightweight distribution based on Ubuntu's long term support releases. The LXLE project has released a stable update to the distribution's 14.04 LTS branch. The new version, LXLE 14.04.4, features security fixes, updated Seamonkey packages and various small visual improvements. "The 'Posh' version of LXLE has been readied and tested since its last release candidate and in the subsequent days of the update to Seamonkey 2.40, which is a core component of the overall desktop experience provided by the operating system; ensuring performance and compatibility with the suite update was critical before official release. During this wait, small polish to the browser and overall user interface was applied, essentially smoothing out any rough edges of the new 'Posh Paradigm' introduced in this release. Posh is expected to provide not only a familiar yet dynamic low resource LXDE desktop but also a layout easily mimicked by LXQt if a version is ever officially offered."

Development Release: LXLE 14.04.4 RC |
|
The LXLE project, which produces a lightweight desktop distribution based on Ubuntu, has published a new release candidate for their upcoming launch of LXLE 14.04.4. The new development snapshot polishes the desktop implementation and features a number of bug fixes. "While working on changes to the user interface, components and software that were to be included with the upcoming 16.04 release, it became clear that updating 14.04 to match 16.04 was inevitable as 12.04 has been. So instead of backing tracking, the distribution tippy toed to the edge with the latest LXDE core to bring the features necessary to implement the new LXLE user interface with the 'Posh Paradigm'. Building on the ideas of many desktops of the past and present paradigms while taking advantage of new and existing features of the latest LXDE desktop most users should find themselves to be in a comfortable, familiar, highly productive environment. While trying not to take away features the goal was to streamline running services, remove buggy features while providing LXLE with its own distinct user interface." A list of changes and screen shots can be found in the project's release announcement. Downloads (MD5): lxle-14.04.4-64bit.iso (1,351MB, pkglist). |

Development Release: LXLE 14.04.4 Beta |
|
The LXLE project which produces a lightweight distribution based on Ubuntu, has launched a new beta for its users to test. LXLE 14.04.4 Beta offers mostly bug fixes and application updates over the precious release. "Only minor changes in this version such as polish, theme cohesion, browser enhancements and bug squashing. Just two small software changes occurred. The first was replacing Xsane scanner with Flegita to provide a simpler interface with some nice options for scanning while also integrating with GIMP. Xscreensaver was replaced with light-locker since Xscreensaver had been causing conflicts with Winpick. Switching to light-locker seems to have resolved that while also freeing up some RAM. LX-Colors themes for Openbox/GTK is now standard, providing numerous elegant themes for the LXDE desktop. LXLE now uses the LX-Mixed theme as its default system wide look. The elementary icon set has also been updated system wide, this includes the default icon set used in LibreOffice." Further details can be found in the project's release announcement.
