From Mint to Trisquel: The Top Linux Distro Releases in November 2014
|
|||
|
|
================================================================================
|
|||
|
|
**November wasn’t heavy on new Linux distribution releases, but still had more than enough to keep distro-hoppers bouncing from download server to ISO mirror and back again.**
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
From the free software ethic of **Trisquel** to the nostalgic glow of **Ubuntu MATE**, let’s take a look at the major Linux distribution releases made in November 2014.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
### Linux Mint 17.1 ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux Mint 17.1 ‘Rebecca’ is the big hitter on this list, going stable just in time to make it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Based on Ubuntu 14.04 and using Linux kernel 3.13, the update also comes loaded with the **latest [Cinnamon 2.4][1] desktop environment, a customisable version of the Nemo file manager**, and improvements to the Update Manager to make package upgrades safer, saner and swifter.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Other changes see the ‘**Background**’, ‘**Login**’ and ‘**Theme**’ settings panes redesigned, and **‘Privacy’ and ‘Notification’ sections** added. The default **system font has been switched to Noto Sans**, while fans of customisation will enjoy new colors added to the Mint-X theme package.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Linux Mint 17.1 delivers a set of solid, well thought out changes and performance improvements, important for an LTS release supported until 2019.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
More information and those all important downloads can be found on the official project website.

|
### Ubuntu Mate 14.04 LTS ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It may have [arrived after the release of Ubuntu MATE 14.10][3] (**timey-wimey**), but as the first Long Term Support release of the flavor Ubuntu MATE 14.04 was welcomed with warm arms, especially by those who love to bask in the green-hued glow of GNOME 2 nostalgia.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Packed with security updates, MATE 1.8.1, and new software included out of the box, Ubuntu MATE 14.04 LTS is a notable update with plenty to tempt those on the newer (but older) 14.10 release.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||

|

|
### Trisquel 7.0 ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The [latest stable release of Trisquel][5], an Ubuntu-based distribution endorsed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF), arrived in the middle of November — and was met by **a lot** of interest.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The free (as in freedom) distribution is built on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS but ships without any of the proprietary bits and pieces. It’s a “pure” Linux experience that may require some workarounds, but serves to flag up the areas where more attention is needed in FOSS hardware support and app alternatives.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The Libre Linux 3.13 Kernel, GNOME 3.12 ‘Flashback’ desktop and the Firefox-based Abrowser 33 are among the changes to be found in Trisquel 7.

### Other Notable Releases ###
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Outside of the Ubuntu-based bubble November 2014 saw releases of other popular Linux distributions, including beta milestones of Mageia 5 and Fedora 21, and a new stable release of Scientific Linux 6.6.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Joining them is openSUSE 13.2 (stable) — the first release to follow a change in the way openSUSE development takes place, the first to adopt the new openSUSE design guidelines and the first to ship with a streamlined (if still unwieldy) installer.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The release has been getting great reviews from the geek press, who gave particular praise for the GNOME 3.14 implementation.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Coming from Ubuntu, where “everything just works”, the cultural and technical gulf can be daunting at first. But if you have some free time, like the color green and relish a challenge, the official openSUSE 13.2 [release announcement][7] should be your starting point.
