SparkyLinux Gets an Exciting Upgrade to v4.6 with Latest Debian 9 “Stretch” Integration
SparkyLinux, the popular Linux distribution, has just received a major update to its v4.6, codenamed Tyche.
The most exciting aspect of this update is that it’s the first release in the SparkyLinux series to feature the recently released Debian 9 “Stretch”. This brings in all the latest updates and features from the Debian community.
The core of SparkyLinux 4.6 runs on the powerful Linux kernel 4.9.30, which has been seamlessly synced with the Debian 9 repositories. For the home edition of this distro, users now have the option to choose between the lightweight Xfce and LXDE desktop environments. In addition, there are enhanced GTK+ apps and a variety of new boot options.
One of the major additions in this update is a new repository to install the highly popular Wine-staging builds. This allows users to run Windows applications on their Linux system with ease. Furthermore, SparkyLinux 4.6 also supports the latest Linux kernels, 4.10 and 4.11, for improved performance and compatibility. All services and repositories of SparkyLinux now also support HTTPS for enhanced security.
Experience Faster Performance with New Boot Options
SparkyLinux 4.6 introduces two new boot options that are sure to enhance your user experience. The ‘Toram’ option allows you to boot the entire live system into your computer’s RAM, resulting in faster performance and smoother operations. The ‘text mode’ option, on the other hand, lets you run SparkyLinux in text-only mode for a more lightweight and efficient experience.
Moreover, the new release has replaced the default Mozilla Thunderbird email client with the more optimized and efficient Icedove email client. Additionally, a new in-house tool has been developed to keep users updated with real-time notifications for software updates, ensuring that you never miss an important update again.
Upgrade to SparkyLinux 4.6 Now!
The live and install ISO images of SparkyLinux 4.6-STB are now available for download. It’s worth mentioning that the development team behind SparkyLinux was quick to promote the distro to the stable channel as soon as Debian GNU/Linux 9 “Stretch” was released.
So, what are you waiting for? Upgrade to SparkyLinux 4.6 now and experience the power and efficiency of the latest Debian 9 “Stretch” integration!
