Linux Lite 5.0 Released With UEFI Support & Other Major Improvements
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Lite is one of the [best Linux distributions suitable for Windows users][1]. Not just limited to that, it’s also one of the most preferred [lightweight Linux distributions][2] available.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Lite 4.x series based on Ubuntu 18.04 was good but it didn’t have [UEFI support][3]. But, now that Linux Lite 5.0 has finally arrived based on [Ubuntu 20.04][4] and I’m excited to see the changes!
|
||||
|
||||
In this article, we’ll take a look at what’s new in Linux Lite 5.0.
|
||||
|
||||
### Linux Lite 5.0: Key Changes
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
With Linux Lite 5.0, they have finally added the support for [UEFI][3] along with numerous significant improvements. Let’s take a brief look at what has changed:
|
||||
|
||||
#### UEFI Support
|
||||
|
||||
Linux Lite 5.0 supports UEFI out-of-the-box. However, they recommend disabling the [Secure Boot][6] feature even though it should work with that.
|
||||
|
||||
![][7]
|
||||
|
||||
You can take a look at one of their [forum threads][8] to understand more about it. Not to mention, you can also find more information about it in the new inbuilt **Help Manual**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Ubuntu-based distro with no hidden telemetry
|
||||
|
||||
If you were looking for a Linux distribution that’s based on Ubuntu but without any hidden telemetry, Linux Lite 5.0 seemts to be the perfect option.
|
||||
|
||||
In the [release announcement][9], they mentioned it in the changelog along with a screenshot that you can see here:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
#### GUFW Firewall replaced by firewallId
|
||||
|
||||
You might have read about [setting up a firewall using GUFW on Linux][11] but starting with Linux Lite 5.0, it has been replaced by [firewallId][12].
|
||||
|
||||
![][13]
|
||||
|
||||
It seems that [GUFW][14] isn’t as configurable as firewallId. Hence, they decided to replace it.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, it is disabled. But, you can choose to enable it by following one of the tutorials in the **Help Manual**.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Latest Whisker Menu
|
||||
|
||||
![][15]
|
||||
|
||||
[Whisker Menu][16] has been updated to the latest package (v2.4.4) available. In addition to the update, you can also notice that “**Install Updates**” is now pinned to the favorites section.
|
||||
|
||||
#### HiDPI Settings
|
||||
|
||||
![][17]
|
||||
|
||||
You will find it very easy to utilize the HiDPI settings from the **Settings menu** if you need it.
|
||||
|
||||
#### XFCE Screensaver Added
|
||||
|
||||
With Linux Lite 5.0, you will also notice the addition of [XFCE screensaver][18] program — which is disabled by default.
|
||||
|
||||
![][19]
|
||||
|
||||
It’s a simple addition that should be useful for users who always wanted a screensaver app and the ability to tweak it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Important Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the key highlights mentioned above, there are several other changes that should come in handy for Linux Lite 5.0 users. I’ve listed some of them here:
|
||||
|
||||
* [Mousepad][20] replaces [Leafpad][21]
|
||||
* New update notification
|
||||
* Integrity Check during live boot
|
||||
* Major improvements to the **Help Manual**
|
||||
* Added Chromium as a Snap package
|
||||
* New Logout options
|
||||
* Lite Welcome screen and Lite User Manager now updated to GTK3 and Python3.
|
||||
* New options added to the Welcome screen: **Select Dark or Light Theme, UEFI & Secure Boot, Feedback**
|
||||
* Improved Lite Widget
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You can find a list of detailed changes in their [official announcement post][9] if you want to explore more about it.
|
||||
|
||||
### Wrapping Up
|
||||
|
||||
I think Linux Lite 5.0 is better than ever and with all the recent additions it’s also going to be a fantastic option for a lot of new Linux users.
