Sick of GNOME, Snap and Flatpak? You might like Linux Lite, but beware rough edges
Linux Lite version 6.4 is the latest point release from this Ubuntu remix aimed at new migrants from Windows.
The updates in this version are fairly modest. For instance, although it's based on Ubuntu 22.04.2, the latest point release of the current Long Term Support version, it doesn't include that version's HWE (Hardware Enablement) kernel. As we noted when we looked at the new Ubuntu Real Time edition, the upstream distro uses kernel 5.19, but Linux Lite 6.4 sticks with the original "Jammy Jellyfish" kernel, 5.15. That's a legitimate choice: kernel 5.15 is a LTS kernel and it's still getting updated, whereas 5.19 reached its end of life back in October.
We looked at Linux Lite 6.0 when it came out and again at the first update, version 6.2. Along with the older kernel, it also has Xfce 4.16 – in some ways, the project hews closer to its parent distro than, say, Linux Mint, the next point release of which will have Xfce 4.18.
