David Purse has announced the release of Simplicity Linux 15.7. The new version of the Puppy-based distributions for desktops and netbooks was already announced last Friday, but because of a critical bug in one of the released images, a new respin was required and it was finally delivered yesterday. From the original announcement: "We are very pleased to announce Simplicity Linux 15.7. Our two main editions, Netbook and Desktop, are available for 32-bit or 64-bit processors. The 32 bit edition comes with the 4.0.4 kernel and the 64 bit version comes with the 4.0.2 kernel. The Netbook edition, our light-weight variant of Simplicity Linux comes pre-installed with Google Chrome and focuses on Cloud-based applications. The Desktop edition is for users who want a fully featured distro; it contains more local applications such as Spotify, LibreOffice and Thunderbird and it could easily become your everyday operating system. And if you are feeling adventurous you might want to give our experimental X edition, a try." Quick download (MD5) links: Desktop157Final-64v2.iso (575MB), Netbook157Final-64.iso (408MB), X157Final.iso (619MB). |

Distribution Release: Simplicity Linux 20.4 |
|
David Purse has announced the release of Simplicity Linux 20.4, a new stable version of the project's Devuan-based distribution set with a choice of Cinnamon or LXDE desktop environments: "We are pleased to announce the release of Simplicity Linux 20.4. This time there are four editions, all based on the excellent Buster Dog. First we have 'Mini', which uses LXDE and Openbox and runs the 5.6.4 XanMod kernel. As usual with Mini, there isn’t a lot of software pre-installed; instead it uses web-based apps which run as a Chrome instance. We have preinstalled Google Docs, Taiga.io Project Management software, Spotify, Mega, Gmail and Facebook Messenger. For those looking for something with locally based applications, we have 'Desktop' which also uses the 5.6.4 XanMod kernel. Unlike Mini, it uses Cinnamon as its desktop. It comes preinstalled with Pidgin, LibreOffice, GIMP, Chrome, Thunderbird, Audacity, Spotify and MPV. The 'Gaming' edition uses the Debian Backports 5.4.0 kernel for stability, and it comes with Brave Browser, OBS, Discord, Blacknut Cloud Gaming, Vortex Cloud Gaming, Wine, Steam and Spotify as full local applications." Here is the complete release announcement. Download (MD5, pkglist): Desktop204.iso (997MB), Gaming204.iso (1,193MB), Mini204.iso (499MB), X204.iso (509MB). |

Distribution Release: Simplicity Linux 20.1 |
|
Simplicity Linux is a Devuan-based distribution which follows a similar design to Puppy Linux. The project's latest release, Simplicity Linux 20.1, is available in three editions: Desktop, Mini, and Gaming. It features PulseAudio and uses Cinnamon as the default graphical environment. "We are pleased to announce the release of Simplicity Linux 20.1. It is based on Buster Dog and uses Cinnamon as a window manager. We've also pre-installed PulseAudio rather than the usual ALSA because it was causing problems with a few modern apps. Simplicity Linux 20.1 comes in three different editions: Mini, Desktop and Gaming. We usually create an X Edition, which showcases features which may or may not appear in a future version of Simplicity Linux, but we've decided to rest this for one release cycle as will be explained later. Mini is our lightweight Linux distro. It features minimal pre-installed software, instead using cloud based software. It uses Google Chrome as the main portal to software, and has shortcuts to commonly used cloud based software." Additional details can be found in the project's release announcement.

Development Release: Simplicity 19.10 Alpha 1 |
|
Simplicity Linux is a Puppy Linux derivative with Xfce as the default desktop environment. It comes in three editions: Desktop, Mini and an experimental X flavour. The project's latest development snapshot is Simplicity Linux 19.10 Alpha1: "We're proud to announce the release of Simplicity Linux 19.10. It is based on Stretchdog, which in turn is based on Debian Stretch. As this is an alpha release, none of these images should be considered finished versions, and may contain bugs or issues which won't be present in the final release. These images should also be considered to be designed for live booting rather than being installed. All three editions of Simplicity Linux 19.10 feature Ecosia as the default search engine. This is a search engine where revenue from ads is used to plant trees. It is something we have been testing for some time, and we weren't going to include it in the alpha releases. However, after hearing about the fires in the Amazon Rainforest, we have decided to include Ecosia in each version. It's our way of trying to help in whatever small way we can." The release announcement offers further details and file checksums. Download (MD5): Simplicity1910DesktopAlpha1.iso (583MB), SimplicityMini1910Alpha1.iso (354MB), Simplicity1910XAlpha.iso (787MB). |

Distribution Release: Simplicity Linux 16.07 |
|
The Simplicity Linux project is based on LXPup and antiX and ships with LXDE as the default desktop environment. The project has announced a new release, Simplicity Linux 16.07. The new version is available in three editions: Desktop, Mini and X. "We are pleased to announce the release of Simplicity Linux 16.07. As with recent versions of Simplicity, Mini and Desktop are based on the excellent LXPup and uses LXDE as the desktop environment. However, as an experiment, X is based on Debian via the fantastic antiX distro. It uses LXDE as the desktop environment like Mini and Desktop, but as far as features go, it is closer to Mini." This new experiment with Debian based packages may spread to the rest of the editions in the future: "As mentioned earlier, you can test our most experimental version of Simplicity Linux to date, X 16.07. This version is still in the very early stages of development. It is based on the excellent antiX, which in turn is Debian based. Whilst we still have a lot of love for Puppy Linux and all its derivatives, sometimes it's hard to make certain packages work, especially newer packages." The release announcement has further details. Download (MD5): 1607Desktop.iso (400MB), 16.07MiniRC1.iso (328MB), X1607Final2.iso (555MB, pkglist). |

Development Release: Simplicity Linux 16.04 Beta |
|
The developers of Simplicity Linux, a distribution derived from Puppy Linux, have launched a new beta release for people to test. The new development snapshot, Simplicity Linux 16.04 Beta, features a newer Linux kernel and lots of cloud-based services. The Beta is available in two editions, Mini and X: "The biggest change from the Alpha to the Beta release of 16.04 is that it is now running the 4.4.4 kernel. We would love any feedback from users on how it's performing for them, as we've found it to be very stable, but we only have a small amount of hardware to test on, so more feedback would be invaluable. Mini is our cut down version of Simplicity which shares the same base as our X and Desktop versions, but with a lot of software removed and replaced by web based versions. It comes with Google Docs, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Dropbox, Twitter and Facebook. X is our experimental version of Simplicity Linux and changes dramatically from release to release."

Development Release: Simplicity Linux 16.04 Alpha |
|
Simplicity Linux is a lightweight desktop distribution based on Puppy Linux. The project's developers have announced the availability of a new test release, Simplicity Linux 16.04 Alpha. "Simplicity Linux 16.04 alpha releases are now available. In this release, we have decided to change the name our trusty Simplicity Linux Netbook edition to Mini. We feel that this new name more accurately reflects this edition. We'd love to know what you think about the change. As it was usual in Simplicity Linux Netbook edition, Mini is a cut-down version of our Desktop edition. Most of the local software pre-installed with Desktop is replaced with browser-based versions. The Desktop edition is our full-featured release which has software such as LibreOffice and GIMP pre-installed. We have decided to do something a little different with X in this release cycle. X will still be a testing ground for experimental features, but it’s now aimed at people moving from Windows to Linux."
