Linux Lite 5.6 RC1 (release candidate) becomes available, and it is based on Ubuntu 20.04.2. The operating system uses Linux kernel 5.4.0-80, but other kernels are available too, ranging from 3.13 to 5.13. This new version of Linux Lite also comes with some excellent software packages, such as Firefox 89.0.2, Thunderbird 78.11.0, LibreOffice 6.4.7.2, VLC 3.0.9.2, and GIMP 2.10.18.
The newest version of Linux Lite is chock full of important changes too, ranging from aesthetics to functionality. For instance, there are seven new wallpapers from which to choose. It also has an updated Papirus icon theme.
Since this is a pre-release version of the operating system, there will most certainly be plenty of surprise bugs.
