New version of SolydXK available.


SolydXK 201405 was released.



"You no longer need to enable legacy BIOS on your laptop - the new ISO images now support EFI. You still need to disable Secure Boot, though. As a result, the multi DVD will no longer be available. Currently, we're working on an easy way to create a multi-boot pen drive yourself. These are some of the changes: the home editions include the latest Update Pack (201404); KDE has been updated to 4.12.4; Linux kernel updated to 3.13; Firefox has been updated to 29.0 and Thunderbird to 24.5; LibreOffice has been updated to 4.1.5; the SolydXK Plymouth theme has been changed, and the Plymouth Manager has been adapted accordingly."

SolydX and SolydK are Debian-based distributions with the Xfce and KDE desktops respectively. SolydXK aims to be simple to use, providing an environment that is both stable and secure. SolydXK is an open-source alternative for small businesses, non-profit organisations and home users. The project started as an unofficial variant of Linux Mint's "Debian" edition with KDE as the default desktop, but it was later given its own identity as SolydK. SolydX was added after Linux Mint dropped its Debian-based flavour that used the Xfce desktop.
