We are excited to present the release of Calculate Linux 20!

In the new version, we have transitioned to Gentoo profile 17.1, the binary repository packages have been rebuilt with GCC 9.2, official support for 32-bit architectures has been discontinued, and the utility eselect is now used for overlay connections.

The following editions of the distribution are available for download: Calculate Linux Desktop with KDE desktop (CLD), Cinnamon (CLDC), LXQt (CLDL), Mate (CLDM), and Xfce (CLDX and CLDXS), Calculate Directory Server (CDS), Calculate Linux Scratch (CLS), and Calculate Scratch Server (CSS).
