|
||
|
|
======
|
||
|
|
SparkyLinux gets rid of PulseAudio, and adds newer browsers with the
|
||
|
|
desktop installer.
|
||
|
|
SparkyLinux is a very [interesting distribution based on Debian][1] that is very fast and lightweight in nature. It provides users with a customizable experience out of the box.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With a recent announcement, the developers have released **the first update of 2024 for their rolling releases of SparkyLinux** that aims to offer various improvements.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let's dive in and see what's on offer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Based on the latest packages from the Debian and Sparky testing repos (January 17, 2024), **SparkyLinux 2024.01 uses the Linux kernel 6.6.11 as a powerful base** to provide better hardware support, networking improvements, and more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then there are the **installer updates;** where Calamares 3.3.1 is now used for the conventional variants of SparkyLinux. Similarly, the Sparky CLI installer sees a few tweaks such as a progress output being shown when files are being copied, and the removal of installation on XFS file system.
|
||
|
|
|

The desktop installer now includes more browser options that include Librewolf, iron, Midori, Opera (stable), and a couple of others.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the audio/video side of things, the **PipeWire audio server replaces PulseAudio** , thanks to [PipeWire 1.0.1][4] being implemented.
