After 10 thousand downloads within a
month for the beta of LXLE; many suggestions, tips and help came
pouring in, it was simply amazing. After some investigating and
clever work, its finally official. Did I miss anything? Probably. Is
it flawless? Probably not. Is it a pretty damn nice full featured
desktop OS that'll run good/great on any PC made in the past ten
years? You bet, but hey, I'm biased. Needless to say without becoming
too long winded, which I'm certainly known to do, lets get to it. LXLE
purpose is to provide a complete, very fast, drop in replacement OS
for your aging computer. Its built on an LTS release of Ubuntu, more
specifically Lubuntu. Its pretty and ready to go out of the box. The
first official version packs a punch. Most features and graphics from
the beta remain intact. However there are significant changes that
help complete the OS for an official release.
