Blue Systems, the company funding the development of KWin and Kubuntu, has released the Netrunner 2020.01 distribution, which offers the KDE desktop. This version differs from the other distributions developed by the same company, Netrunner Rolling and Maui, as it uses a traditional approach to build formation and Debian's package base, without the rolling update model based on Arch/Kubuntu. Netrunner differs from Kubuntu in its approach to user interface organization and its development towards seamless integration of Wine and GTK applications within the KDE environment. The size of the ISO image is 2.4 GB (x86_64).
In the new version, the distribution's components are synchronized with Debian 10.3, and the KDE desktop components have been updated. A new theme called Indigo has been introduced, built on the theme engine, which uses SVG. The new theme adopts the window decoration style with darker colors, enhancing contrast and simplifying the visual distinction between active and inactive windows. The cursor is colored red, making it easier to identify its position on the screen.
The base package includes applications such as the LibreOffice suite, the Firefox browser, the Thunderbird email client, graphic editors GIMP, Inkscape, and Krita, video editor Kdenlive, and music collection management software , music player , video player SMplayer, communication applications Skype and Pidgin, text editor Kate, and terminal .
