Share

It looks like the developers of the lightweight LXLE distribution are working hard on the next major update for the Lubuntu-based computer operating system, and they’ve just released the first Beta in the LXLE 16.04 series.

A 64-bit Live ISO image of LXLE 16.04 Beta is now available for download, designed for public beta testers and early adopters who want to help the developer find bugs in the operating system before it hits the stable channels.

But don’t worry, because LXLE will also offer you support for 32-bit PCs; after all, it’s a lightweight distro designed to revive old and dusty computers. Most probably, they will be available with the next Beta or in the coming days as part of this first Beta release.

As for the changes, LXLE 16.04 Beta incorporates various MATE specific applications, which replace some of the GNOME ones that were available in LXLE 14.04.4, thus making the OS more lightweight, and there are a handful of apps from Linux Mint too.
