07:48 schestowitz; <blockquote>
07:48 schestowitz; <p>Here at the Reg FOSS desk, we suspect that Xubuntu's minimal install option may propel this flavor to becoming one of the most popular. One difference is visible even before you boot Xubuntu Noble for the first time. Although, as with the other flavors, the minimal installation is an option in the installation program, Xubuntu's minimal version is also available as a separate download. This is a mere 2
07:48 schestowitz; .6GB in size, as opposed to the standard Desktop download which is about 4GB. Secondly, Xubuntu's Minimal install is far more stripped-back than any other we've seen so far. </p>

07:48 schestowitz; <p>Last week was a busy one for the open source community: EndeavourOS and TrueNAS Scale arrived on Tuesday, Fedora landed on Wednesday, and Ubuntu on Thursday. </p>
07:48 schestowitz; <p> This past week has seen a whole rash of new distribution releases, but there is considerable overlap between them. All of them include the latest Linux kernel 6.8, they all offer the latest GNOME 46 desktop whose beta we checked out in February, and the majority of them include the latest KDE Plasma 6 desktop as well. </p>
