Need for those who are still using Windows 7 and do not wish to switch to Windows 10, it might be worth considering the camp of open-source operating systems. Recently, a distribution has been released , designed to work with outdated hardware and intended to introduce Windows users to Linux.
Linux Lite 5.0, codenamed 'Emerald', is based on the Ubuntu 20.04 LTS distribution, with a Linux kernel of 5.4.0-33, and uses the XFCE desktop environment. The OS comes with updated versions of programs like: LibreOffice 6.4.3.2, Gimp 2.10.18, Thunderbird 68.8.0, Firefox 76.0.1, and VLC 3.0.9.2.
"The final version of Linux Lite 5.0 Emerald is now available for download and installation. This is the most feature-rich, complete release of Linux Lite to date. It's the release many people have been eagerly awaiting. UEFI is now supported out of the box. The GUFW firewall has been replaced with the more functional FireWallD (disabled by default)," says Jerry Bezencon, the creator of Linux Lite.
OS-i koosseisu kuuluvad ka viimased programmiversioonid: brauser Google Chrome, Chromium (snap-pakendina), Etcher (OS-i kujundite kirjutamise tarkvara SD-kaartidele ja USB-mäluseadmetele), NitroShare (platvormidevaheline programm failide jagamiseks kohalikus võrgus — neile, kes ei soovi Samba't kasutada), suhtlusrakendus Telegram, tekstiredaktor Zim märkmete loomiseks (asendab toetust mittesaava CherryTree).
Kui olete valmis proovima Linux Lite 5.0 Emeraldit, saate distributsiooni alla laadida . Enne, kui te seda teete, on soovitatav tutvuda täieliku teabega väljaande kohta ametlikul projekti veebilehel. Kas peaks Windowsilt kohe Linux Lite'ile üle minema? Üks võimalus on proovida ja isiklikult veenduda, kas Linux vastab teie vajadustele. Võite olla meeldivalt üllatunud, kui suur on avatud tarkvara maailm.
