The second development image of the SparkyLinux for ARMhf operating system has been released today for Raspberry Pi single-board computers.

The Sparky 4-dev20171127 ARMhf image is now available for testing on supported Raspberry Pi computers, and it comes with several optimizations and changes. First and foremost, this update replaces several apps that consumed a lot of system memory with lighter variants that are more friendly with the 1GB RAM of the SBC.
