The repositories have also been updated to get the latest packages. + +SparkyAPTus AppCenter has replaced the original SparkyAPTus, which is no longer developed. + +![][2] + +You can install, reinstall, and remove applications easily. Not just limited to the applications, but you also get the ability to tweak the pre-configured desktops using it. + +In addition to that, you can remove and install Linux Kernels as well. You can choose from Debian Kernel, Liquorix, Sparky, and XanMod. + +![][3] + +It is worth noting that you will still be able to access all the tools from the old APTus. + +To enhance privacy and security, SparkyLinux has decided to include the non-profit [RiseUp VPN][4] application pre-installed. + +It is a VPN service that relies on donations to keep the network alive and comes with cross-platform support. You can also find it available for Android devices. + +So, this makes it an interesting addition to the distribution. If you are not using any VPN service, this should make things easy. + +The FirstRun app has been replaced with an improved welcome app that guides you through some basic pointers. + +![][5] + +### Other Improvements + +With the latest release, you can also find new wallpapers and updated application packages that include: + + * Thunderbird 78.13.0 + * VLC 3.0.16 + * LibreOffice 7.0.4 + * Calamares Installer 3.2.41.1 + + + +To know more about the release, you can refer to the [official announcement][6]. + +### Download Sparky 6.0 + +SparkyLinux 6.0 is available to download with Xfce and KDE Plasma desktop environments. It supports 32-bit systems as well, which is a good thing. + +If you are already running SparkLinux “Po Tolo” rolling release, you need to update your system to get Sparky 6.0. + +Do note that the rolling version will switch to a stable release. So, if you want to stay on the rolling release, you need to wait for a few days. + +[SparkyLinux 6.0][7] + +#### Big Tech Websites Get Millions in Revenue, It's FOSS Got You! + +If you like what we do here at It's FOSS, please consider making a donation to support our independent publication.
