GoboLinux developer Lucas C. Villa Real announced today, October 10, 2016, the general availability of the first Alpha pre-release version of the upcoming GoboLinux 016 GNU/Linux operating system.

Built on top of the highly configurable, next generation Awesome window manager, GoboLinux is a Linux distribution that offers a logical and advanced file system hierarchy. The Alpha milestone of the GoboLinux 016 release is also the first to come with support for 64-bit (x86_64) hardware architectures.

“We have worked hard to ensure it runs smoothly on a variety of machines, but given the architecture switch it is possible that we forgot something. We will collect reports from you for a few weeks before rolling a new snapshot of what’ll soon become 016 final,” says Lucas C. Villa Real in the release announcement.
