New Update Linux Lite 8.0 Final Released

[lokamoka820]

Linux Lite 8.0 Final is now available for download.

Series 8 represents 14 years of community-driven purpose culminating in Linux Lite's largest development cycle ever: a brand-new installer, new performance driven kernels, end-to-end GTK4 theming, plentiful customisation, a Game Center that gives you all the tools you need to get up and running in minutes, a slew of new in-house applications and unprecedented translation coverage at every level of the system. Series 8 will continue to build on this foundation with improved usability, expanded applications, more choice, more control and ongoing performance refinements to our custom kernels. Thank you. Genuinely.
