Linspire 9.0: new version of the controversial distro released

Linspire

Linspire 9.0 has been released. The controversial distro is updated and brings a significant improvement. If you have been in the Linux world for years, you will surely remember Lindows, which would later end up being transformed into this other project. A GNU / Linux distro that integrated C'n'R (Click and Run) technology and that promised to bring the simplicity of Windows to install applications without the need for commands. That was quite revolutionary at the time, although now it is possible in many distros thanks to the included software centers or application stores.

The new Linspire 9.0 is based on Ubuntu and uses a lightweight Xfce desktop environment. In this case, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) has been used as a base, and a recent version of the kernel has been included as Linux 5.4 LTS. In addition, other packages have been updated, some problems have been solved, vulnerabilities have been patched, and it has some improvements in its core components.

Now use Xfce 4.14 As a desktop environment, a new fully customized version that will come together with the updated Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS packages, including HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel based on Linux 5.4 as I mentioned above.

A good number of pre-installed apps such as Google Chrome 84 web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird 68.8 email client with integrated Lightning extension, OnlyOffice office suite, VLC media player, KolourPaint paint program, Redshift utility, games like KPatience and DreamChess, as well as Microsoft PowerShell.

When you install it, you will have the choice between file systems JFS, XFS and Btrfs for the root partition. All the multimedia codecs have also been included so that you do not have problems when playing any content, snap has been removed to replace it with Flatpak apps, etc.

If you are interested, you can buy Linspire 9.0 from the Official website for $ 39,99, and you also have editions like Linspire Workstation, CE, CE Office 365, etc.
